I have a house in Alberta. I wonder if there’s a way to cede my property back to the Treaty nations when I die… They deserve it more than my relatives do.

You may want to contact the First Nations band office closest to you (or another band office of your choosing) and speak to them about it.

Just to pre-empt where this is going, sure, the Earth was here before all of us. But unlike the Clovis people, First Nations are still here and suffering from what my ancestors did, which is why that leads to misunderstanding when emphasised.

I hope other first nations and communities send her more letters like this. If you want to be american so badly just move there and leave the rest of us out of it.

That’s something I can’t understand. Most of my family back in Alberta would vote to join US and have been saying it for years. Why don’t they just move there? It’s not hard

I think it’s all a boo hoo victim mentality to avoid personal accountability. Those people’s lives suck because they are dumb, not because of Ottawa, lol

1000% correct, they would rather whine about Ottawa fucking them in some way then actually doing work to change their material outcomes. It comes from intellectual laziness if you ask me.

They’ve been saying for years they would vote for Canada to be part of the USA? I had no idea this retardation predated orange Hitler. Tell them an American said they’re dumb as hell for wanting to join them.

We have a huge amount to learn from the First Nations and the French about sovereignty. It will also be quite interesting to see how the 51st state bullshit goes over with them.
