Dear Editor

I can agree with Former councilor Maurice Nokusis criticisms and ager towards the "Indian Act' that act was Royal British penal code to imprison survivors of ethnic cleansing and theft of homelands once the First Nations 1000's years. You lock up a prisoner for ten years they are heartless lost their sense of integrity, esteem and idgnity most of them whereas our families locked up 150 plus years. Freedom to marry, trade, and live with human rights forgotten takes time to heal as persons, peoples and nations. Sadly today we only fight for rights and prison budgets within reserves as to many forgot freedom, rights and identities within our homelands. Hitler learnt well from the Royal kingdoms death camps modelled from reserves to cause social extinction of a race. Sad fact massive stockholm syndrome blinds to many First Nations minds forgotten our great grandparents suffering in unjust Royal Canada. We to have right to human rights to begin again. Prayers and hopes mine we reclaim what is ours homelands not reserve prison yards. Towns and trade routes rebuilt to prosper and live well for all members of Canada.

Dear Editor

As as student researching the way of life for the First Nations in the last 200 years, I found this article very informative. My opinion of Canada's government has changed dramatically. I never considered our nation one that would tolerate racism, and I am shocked to see it promoted. However, i wish to thank you for allowing me to have a clearer view of my research.
