Best thing I saw today

[Mike Rowe @MikeRow03877374]

Darryl Leroux's face when asked his credentials about being a proffesional geneologist, at a Odanak and Vermont Abenaki meeting.Priceless.

A wiser person than me once said, if you want to see your future take a look at your friends. I think Canada needs new friends.

[Jay @AptoziJay]

I am not from the States but I had no idea the White House had an embassy in Hollywood.

The big canoe

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@Abitawiskwe Tried searching you but nothing came up.

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@awedgewood @Milkabot @amanh13 Then I am sure your visit will be very bit as triumphant!

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@m8tis_seb I get the people at the top will continue to increase their paycheck but what do any of the people who voted in favour of this get out of it? Maybe access to some programs or services but not much else from what I can see.

[Jay @AptoziJay]

Just curious. If you are RR Mètis what do you get out of this? Last time your ancestors made a deal like this scrip was on the table. Pretty sure no one is getting any land so what do you get?

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@MirandaMoranSK Sad days. Corrupt NPO sign deals that give people nothing really. The majority of people have no cohesive organization to combat colonialism. Lots of divisions and very little points of unity. A tough path forward.

[Jay @AptoziJay]

How much land did they get?

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@MirandaMoranSK Sad days when you sell out indigenous right to land for to health/ dental plan and an undisclosed amount of cash. As usual the people most in need will be left out. Very traditional for a colonial government a sad day for an indigenous one

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@MirandaMoranSK Wonder if the Mètis Citizens of the great landless Mètis Nation will have to pay taxes to their newly minted "government "

Snow has come to my neck of the woods

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@awedgewood Haha! Sounds about right

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@awedgewood Nice! Thanks for the info!

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@awedgewood Definitely a lot of ground to cover. Canada and the US did some things the same and some things very different. I haven't read that book specifically so I am definitely interested in checking it out.

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@happyhillers Yup. A person has to carve out their own little slice of happy these days.

[Jay @AptoziJay]

Factual

[Jay @AptoziJay]

@happyhillers About all anyone can ask these days! LOL
