that's not true at all.

@@KenneyCmusic or try hunting yourself on foot, with an arrow and stone bow. See how easy it is to hunt Buffalo that way

@@kyle5519 They had a system of corrals made from sticks and logs that they used for larger slaughters. There was also the Buffalo jump where they ran them off cliffs. When the herds were bigger back then it was much easier to peck off one or two. But yeah I'm sure hunting was easier when the Spanish brought the horse. My family is Cree from Alberta. Traditionally we hunted Buffallo before they were slaughtered in the 1870s.

@@KenneyCmusic yea like I said they HARDLY hunted Buffalo, and they didn't build corrals they just tried to run them off cliffs. Which is almost impossible on foot

@@KenneyCmusic no one is corraling Buffalo without a horse. You don't know anything about hunting animals

It's hard to find perspective from those who never had a written language. Residential schools disrupted the oral tradition. What you're left with is a one side history, which to say is most of the history of the indigenous unfortunately.

@@simonalore6798not really, no one really asks us about our history.

Unfortunately teachers are using this channel in Ontario currently to "teach "

Nope.....indigenous don't have a written history..it is passed down...and as such is continuously made up to support their narrative.

Well what do the treaties say? How could there be transfer of land ownership when most first nations had no concept of it. It was most likely that first nations were willing to share their land with the settlers not understanding that the settlers viewed this as a transfer of land. This is why we are still dealing with these issues that our ancestors left behind. Two groups of people separated by thousands of years of cultural evolution trying to negotiate over the course of a couple hundred years. The issues we are trying to deal with now were inevitable. The only path forward is to accept that first nations and non first nations have equal claim to the land. Please don't call those of non first nation/European ancestry "settlers". This is both hurtful and not true. There are many different ethnic groups in the America's now. Would you call Chinese, Japanese, Africans, or any other ethnic group besides European "settlers"? I didn't "settle" anywhere. I was born here through no choice of my own. If I'm a "settler" then where am I supposed to return? This is land belongs to everyone who was born here through no choice of their own. Some how we need to learn to live together.... By saying one individual has more right to the land based on who their parents are sounds racist. Why should somebody's blood allow them greater right? Isn't this what we are trying to evolve past? Aren't we all human beings deserving the same rights?

@@simonalore6798 *Say that to the queen...*

@@nun_bel_eever I'm pretty sure she has the same rights and is governed by the same laws as us common folk. Obviously you think you understand more then you have knowledge to provide. You do know that England hasn't been an absolute monarchy for hundreds of years? Ever heard of the Magna Carte? This document was forced on the then King John in 1215 by the aristocracy which put into law, legal restrictions on the monarchs power. But.... why would you know that? It sounds more hip when you say "say that to the queen..". Well you're not hip and you sound like an ignorant arse.

IMAGINE

What exactly do you hear?

I hear bias all the time. Why are white Canadians whose ancestors settled here hundreds of years ago treated as unwanted, undeserving "settlers" by some indigenous peoples? Why is this not being called out for what it is? This is another form of racism. It shouldn't matter who, or what race your ancestors were. The only thing which matters is where you were born. Any argument against this should be considered as racism as that argument defines rights based on race. Why is a baby born to one set of parents granted acknowledgment as a member over those whose racial background differs from the majority? If we are really trying to strive for acceptance and an end to racism why don't we open membership to all children born in a particular territory regardless of blood line?

You could've just said "I'm a stupid cracker" and saved us the trouble of reading through a paragraph.

@@Spinnylespin so it's kosher for you to call me "a stupid cracker"? It's ok for you to call me bigoted names which you probably don't even know the origin of? I don't consider myself a "settler". Does this make me or you ignorant? Where did I settle from? I was born here just like you... you think you're better then me? You think you are entitled to this land but I'm not? If so what gives you the right? Why do we have to be separated by lineage?

​@@simonalore6798 your ignorant to your true history.

Probably means access to the water and the resources in the lakes. When colonizer would settle on the shores, they would gain the rights to the lake and cut off the Indigenous access to the lakes. No need to become hostile, just look it up for yourself :)

Wherever humans have migrated they have exploited the natural resources. It's impossible for humans to thrive and not exploit natural resources. Since first nations were some of the first migrants here. It would be impossible for them to of thrived for thousands of years without exploiting the natural resources. Did first nations never hunt, fish, gather vegetation, set up agriculture in Eastern, Central, and South America? These are all forms of exploiting an environmental. Not sure why this has to be negative? If done responsibly there is no issue.

the lake superior region is known for its native copper that can be found in loose soil, indigenous people have been working copper since about the same time that people started in the old world. the difference is that in the old world copper was found primarily as ore, therefore the technology of smelting had to be invented. Here in the new world copper is often found as "native copper" especially in the great lakes region. the native has nothing to do with us it just means that it is basically pure copper and can be worked easily without the need for smelting. hence in the new world metals became a ceremonial / spiritual or prestige item rather than a utilitarian one used for tools. if it interests you look up "the old copper culture" of the Mississippi and you will get it.
