been injustice of the most profound kind. Poverty and powerlessness have been
the Canadian legacy to a people who once governed their own affairs in self-
sufficiency.

decision-making authority in the justice system. However one understands
discrimination, it is clear that aboriginal people have been subject to it.

No matter how we look at it, it comes down to one of the deadly
sins; greed. The European countries were greedy. Greedy for money, greedy
for natural resources, for land, and for power. And the ones left to suffer
for their frenzied race was the rest of the un-industrialized world. In
