If you wish to have any credibility at all in what you say, not sure you do to be honest, you have to at least admit that their are widely held stereotypes about 'white people' among First Nations people, just as I acknowledge that their are widely held stereotypes about First Nations people among 'white' people.  It is unfortunate, but no one is immune to the tendency to draw generalizations and stereotypes which result in varying degrees of racism. We simply cannot eliminate this behaviour, we can only acknowledge, seek to understand, and make efforts to overcome our human failings.  Naturally, these widely held stereotypes will then make their way into literature leading to mischaracterizations, generalizations, and misunderstandings between First Nations and 'white' peoples.  Or, do you wish to profess the absolute purity and innocence of First Nations peoples?
