Canada, our nice neighbors to the north were too nice and became an easy pushover. Their ties to the UK and its royalty made it even easier to for them to go rotten. The Natives have been very quiet on the TV programming I've been able to catch on the PBS Native channel and one other network with a weekly program.
The tribes in the states are still talking about their culture and history for the most part, and I don't have any contacts at the reservation to get any candid opinions like I had in Detroit. I had some friends involved in the First Nation blockades of 1988 and 1989 in Ontario, they we pretty well organized and had help from tribes in the states. I'm not seeing that type of push back from Canadian tribes more recently. AIM was a big movement in the 1970s, but it must have gone underground by the 1990s.
