The Indian Industry...

...on full glaring display.  I waded into that muck here.  After I picked up my toys and left them to wallow in self-righteousness, I took several books down from my bookshelves and have been wading through some of them so as to document the rise of the Industry, which began in the early 1970s.  Hopefully, the industry is close to bankruptcy. After nearly 40 years of it, they have accomplished nothing, save for the enrichment of some members of the Industry, Indian Chiefs being among them, and the brainwashing of folks like many of those posting at the aforementioned website (at the link).

Here's my suggestion to any aboriginal person who may be reading this. If you're sick and tired of being exploited, there are two ways you can capitalize and gain from the resources supposedly stolen from you:

1) Instead of rewarding chiefs and First Nations leaders and organizations big salaries and bags of cash, take that money and invest it in shares of the big companies that exploit the land taken from you, such as mining and forestry companies that are traded on the stock market.  That way, you'll derive benefit from those resources, too.

2) Encourage more of your kids to finish school and enter the trades or some industrial profession, such as engineering.  That way, your kids and future generations can work in those industries and get back, via their wages, some of what you think you're entitled to have.

As it is now, the Industry is the biggest impediment there is to your gaining benefit from the resources you once roamed over but had neither the skills, nor the capital, to exploit.  If you want your kids to have a future, that's the only way out. There is no future in hunting, gathering and trapping. The rest of the world left that behind eons ago.

Oh, and tell the captains of the Industry to kiss your asses and get lost. They've made enough off of your misery.
