“we could not always hope to maintain peace with the Indians; that the savage was still a savage, and that until he ceased to be savage, we were always in danger of a collision, in danger of war, in danger of an outbreak,” John A MacDonald

Do you notice, people who fight for their lives, and fight for their children's lives are always savages, and animals. They cut Natives tongues out, the French scalped them, and then lied and said it was the Natives that started it.

That is true worldwide whn a country invades to steal land & justifies it by God Given Duty -Religion - the divine mandate - to civilize the savages >Religious orders with residential schools was no mistake. The US still has in God we Trust on their $$ & are attacking Cda to steal resources

A combination of ignorance and racism I presume . How many know that Tecumseh and 1000s in his indigenous coalition died defending Canada in the war of 1812, otherwise we would not exist, as they were the critical , largest defending force with the highest casualties .

the colonialists showed us who the real savages were and in most cases still are...still are walking over people and the planet to take whatever they want, and even when they don't want it, they don't what anyone else to have it either! #GreedIsADisease
