Thank-you or in our language Niawen Kowa
for your response to my comments.
Now if only we can together, convince all native peoples from across This great land of ours. that only thru their original Governance and spiritiualy can they find their true identity as our creator had intended us to be. Our world would be such a better place.

: ... Accountability perhaps may be pipe dream, but I believe that what you said it true that once First Nation people need to find their identity that does not correspond with the mainstream Canadian government. Canadian Mainstream government has done nothing to help First Nations people achieve there desires and needs. But I feel that First Nations people must get reconnected with their identities which include the orginal governance and the original laws. This is part of my ideologies that concern First Nations governance and determination. What concerns me is that many of the original ways have been eradicated and dismantled due to the foriegn institutions that dictate FN existance atevery waken moment of our lives. I may sound naive but I am still learning to strive in this poltical mess that has become the First Nation mainstream. To end off I want to conclude by saying, if we want to strive once again, I believe our aspirations are attainable, but without some guidence from the people who know the original ways, First Nations people will continue to allow themselves to be conquered and spit on by the dominant society.
