That's very sad, I had no idea. Do you think that this attitude would manifest itself in literally hundreds of drivers driving past an Indian GIRL'S body on the highway without even bothering to stop? (I bolded her gender because I am of that old, discredited school that believes women are the Crown of Creation and the Light of the Universe, and deserve every possible bit of adoration and respect at all times)
Do you think that it would also manifest itself in the RCMP officers doing what appears to be a breathtakingly substandard and unprofessional "investigation" of the crime scene?
Sorry if I seem naive about Canada.....I've made it a point to avoid visiting Canada for a great many years because it seems that many of Canada's people and Government officials have not been terribly congenial toward us Yanks.
Thanks for the nice (pro-fem) thought. We appreciate you guys too.
I was born in the USA, too, but have relatives up there. All I know is that not many Indians are encouraged to get off of the reservations or get into business. Canada doles a little out to them, and too many of them remain separated from the rest of the society.
Down here, we more often offer them chances to get off of the reservations and into schools and jobs outside of those places. Quite a few people married them in the USA a very long time ago--at least in the eastern half of this country.
