Was it worse in the US or Canada where First Nations were not only marginalized and discriminated against but legally disenfranchised and UNABLE to even hire a lawyer from 1927 to 1951... Native peoples in the US lost in the courts, but in Canada, First Nations could not even get that far. In both countries treaties and court decisions were frequently (consistently) violated. Thankfully that has begun to change.

To people who haven't been paying attention and/or know Canada mostly as a refuge from the draft etc., it appears a haven. Canada was as brutal (via the official government agencies, and Anglican and other churches) as what happened in the States. Some provinces are as red as Utah and Wyoming. BC isn't one of those, but still.

Ditto fossil fuels.

The chapter on salmon. It see,s to me, Fraser River salmon should be managed by First Nations in consultation with DFO, not the other way around.
