A list of a few things that Indig ppl have every right to be outraged over:
• all of the genocide
• removal from homelands by RCMP
• assimilation
• residential schools
• potlatch ban
• theft&selling of our ceremonial items which still sit in museums around the world
• reserve system(which we needed passes from Indian Agents to leave/visit with family in other communities.) thank you Canada for letting us leave the reserves when we want now.
• diseases that colonizers brought with them that damn near wiped us all out
• smallpox blankets
