Pre-Columbian cultures in North America (central and South America were different situations) were relatively stagnant for thousands of years, with little linear progress.

I fear Canada is being dragged into this cycle of never ending, repeating grievance adjustment by people who did not suffer the original injustice, measured against people who neither perpetrated it, or benefited from it.

There is no purpose to these actions, as each and every "victory" or reward is not enough, and never seems to make any material change to the situation.
