This is excellent. Really! 

I regard the First Nations of Canada as our National Treasure.  When I first read the writings of Archibald Belaney known to history as Grey Owl, I wanted to be an Indian.  My parents were not prejudiced against anyone. They taught that racism is a false god.  When I was in my late twenties, I had the chance to live for a year on the Six Nations of the Grand River.  Because I respected the people, I was treated accordingly. One night while on the way to a dance off the Reserve, I asked the driver if only Indians would be there. He replied, "You're an Indian, sort of."  Nice!

Canada's treatment of the First Nations sanctioned by the government under the aegis of Christian clergy unleashed a legacy of racial terror upon children of the First Nations.  Only when Canadians en mass come to terms with this blight upon our historical pass, will Canada attain its high destiny.  Drew Hayden Taylor's article is a reminder how far we have to go.
