We´re strong and free
That was what he said during the ceremony that was held last night at the opening of the 2010 winter olympic games in Vancouver canada.
The speach was somehow a remark to the US and their lack of human policy. But let´s take a closer look on the “free” thing of the canadian history.
Any of these sounds familiar?
Passamaquoddy?
Puntlatsh?
Kutchin?
Kutenai?
Kwakiutl?
Tatsanottine? (Also named Scum… or Scum of water)
Tsattine?
Crow?
Cree?
"You have stolen our native land, our culture, our soul..."

The Cry of The Native American
"We were here first
(i-gv-ya o-gi-lu-tsv a-ha-ni)

But we wanted their land
So they had to die"
