LOL THEY ARE ALL ANGLO SAXON CLAIMING ABORIGINAL
The 1 lady has a gorgeous home unlike what people live in on most Reserves. Has she even lived on a Reserve or go to help people on any Reserve?
Can this be done in reverse? I'd love to get land off the Rez again like immediately because some of my ancestors are part white?
Because my grandmother refused to put my father's name on my birth certificate I am denied my tribal recognition.
I am a hereditary member of the Nipissing Nation from the first European visitors in 1620 I would dearly love to speak with your investigators about claims of Aboriginal Heritage. I would like to know what would quantify in people's opinion someone who's Aboriginal. As I said my history goes back to the 1600s and it's actually recorded in the history books better held in Quebec and used in Canadian history classes the Explorer's name was Jean nicollet. And by the way Champlain was not the first explorer to team up with the aboriginals Nicolet was out in Northern Ontario doing the same thing at the same time
if you are you better look like a SWARTHY NEGRO FEATURES
You might have heritage 12 generations back even 6 doesn't make you native
All these people in the video are 70% or more European. It’s hillarious they show a picture of the Indians in black and white and none of these people look like them. Look at the one guys thick European beard. Is there even any real Indians left in Canada?
would they have raped and tortured me any less if I was 10% more "pure"?
What a Racist thing to say ughh there not passing YOUR requirements....the plan was to knock "Blood" so you saying that is terribly Racist considering Canada's LONG term plan....
@@justinfendelet8675what's racist is your response to their pointing out facts. Most likely due to you most likely being white. You white people's genocide against natives are up
I can tell rn youre white person @justinfendelet8675
Being Denied land rights or not acknowledging your Specific Racial heritage in the laws of your country:
Is NOT Genocide.
If definition of cultural or ethnic Genocide does exist, all of Europeans could claim Genocide when it was being first colonized.
Languages were lost, cultures lost, spiritual beliefs lost and bloodlines lost...tribes migration to other area's over time and reestablishing themselves.
And yet, interestingly Europeans don't claim Genocide only migration throughout Europe and the merging and reestablishing of cultures, as a result of its first wave of colonization.
When actual acts or attempts of Genocide did occur, in Europe, it has been recognized as such.
I think it is time we caution ourselves when we use the term Genocide to when a group is being exterminated; large scale Homicide of a Specific Group.
My Great Grandparents fled Hungry to Canada prior to WW1 during the wars in Hungry, that my Great Grandfather fought and sent my Great Grandmother alone with their two year old daughter, while she was pregnant to make it via trains, trucks and then boat to the east coast of Canada. Her sisters and parents didn't make it out of Hungry. My Great Grandfather, only his two older sisters made it to the east coast of the US via a different route out of Europe. My Great Grandfather made it to Canada 8 months after my Great Grandmother had arrived in Canada.
My Great Grandmother told me the village near their farm was now part of Romaine after the fall of the Hungarian Kingdom.
Although I was never formally taught Hungarian, I was passed down many Hungarian cultural influences. It was important to them that I learnt about my Hungarian heritage from my mother's side.
My father is 100% British. And I knew and had very close weekly interactions with my father's parents and extended family. I too have been heavily influenced by my British heritage. Both my British grandparents were born in Canada but their parents were born in England and immigrated here, they didn't flee here, like my Hungarian side had to.
I refer to myself as Canadian of British and Hungarian decent.
In no way do I think I would have the right to go back to Romaine, find the area my family is from and demand a landclaim, because my family fled their farmlands. Nor could I make a claim to Hungry or Romaine for reparation and restitution.
I absolutely would never say my Hungarian Great Grandparents were subjected to genocide!
War yes, Genocide no!
That would be completely inappropriate for me to state that. (My Hungarian side is Catholic). As a matter of fact, I simply say they immigrated here prior to WW1 to ensure I am not misleading anyone.
You simply can't throw such words around.
Was what my Great Grandparents and their parents and siblings went through was terrifying, Yes, absolutely, BUT it wasn't Genocide!
I can only honor my heritage of both sides of my family. And pass along these things to my son.
I cannot, however, use misused terms, to bolster their experiences.
Nor will I concede for me or my son be used as an instrument of politics of such actions or accusations by another group of people.
[My son (he 20 in 2023) knew my Hungarian Grandfather well and saw him regularly. He passed away in October 2022. My father is still alive and my son and I are very close to my father's side of our family. My son calls me Mum out of affection and to honor our British heritage. ]
I will not be shamed for the actions of a government that practiced policies that I or my family did not agree to. Literally, my father's father worked for the Federal Government in Ottawa in Native Affairs and fought against these policies in the 60s even though he knew it would cost him his career.
Not All White Men agreed with these political policies. Not all Europeans are pro-Colonist.
If your talking 1760s WAKE up You have no First Nation goin 12 generation back skippin past you british German polish ansestry...why arnt you pointing at your cousins on the Rez?
I am being genuine. Are you aware there is no more chief and band council? Its now mayor and council, with reserves now municipalities. Are you aware that a First Nation is a corporation under the foreign corporation known as CANADA? (Segar filings and DUNNS registration search for the receipts if you wish) Are you aware the hereditary governments of clan mothers and headmens of the indigenous peoples has never stop functioning? Are you aware that any man or women born on the land is indigenous?
Lol that's genocide
Being Indigenous is being born into a knowledge system too - not just a disembodied piece of land.
