Even their own chiefs disrespect them and give them no voice
@BonnieMeikle1
This is from a First Nations person who replied under a on FB and it's worth highlighting:
"The audacity so many of you have trying to speak for all as an individual is only surpassed by the chiefs! My chief had ZERO consultation with his people before getting up with the other "leaders" and denouncing the idea... ironic eh? What I don't understand is why would these "leaders" not want to at least hear a proposal as to what things could look like if they backed the movement.
We own no land, the small sections of our reserves are held in trust as if we're children not yet ready for the responsibility of ownership.
The treaties as originally signed use such racist and oppressive language... "the queens good indians"... does that sit well with you? The indian act, residential schools, genocides of the past... these were all perpetrated by the same entities and institutions that so many of you are so suddenly loyal to!
When Joey Pete flew to London to kiss the ring and beg for the king's help with the mean separatists, did you applaud? That is the same bloodline that ordered our extinction... but we persevered, and they had to make a deal... but at great cost to us generations later.
What if, we could retain the rights we currently have that matter in 2026... self governance, access to education/Healthcare, harvesting rights, tax exemptions and of course funding... if those were guaranteed to remain what would the downside be?
The land is gone, it's never being returned without all out war (that we won't win), is this about compensation from revenue generated from the land(earned or not)?
I've been off reserve about 20 years now, and I can tell you, reserve life should be far better than it currently is! The "leaders" have failed us, and in many cases, we have failed ourselves. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result... maybe it's time for a paradigm shift from within.
Maybe its time for our "leaders" stop wasting time and resources fighting for our past and start fighting for our future!"

Every single Liberal Prime minister of the UK, has been a member of the Fabian Society
Spoke of the “powerful, malign influence” of the Fabian Society whose symbol is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Today at Mass the Gospel warns:
“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves”.
