I decided to write an Artikel because some Kürzlich news was seriously pissing me off. (Actually my friend inspired me.)
This is an Artikel about misconceptions on First Nations and Native Americans. I decided to Zeigen everyone how some of their ideals on native people are WRONG. (mostly in Canada, I don't know what goes on in America...)
I've had people ask me crazy things, and assume really STUPID things about natives that quite frankly are not true. How do I know? I'm a full native who's lived on a reservation her whole life. That's how.
If Du Kommentar on something Du believe is true, then I'll answer the best way possible. here are some misconceptions:
Native people get free gas:
No. This is false. This was sagte Von Justin Beiber. He thought he could get a free ride because he was supposedly "half inuit."
If he was, he should've known that natives have to pay for gas and taxes as well as anyone. I know I do. It doesn't matter if Du have an indian status oder not, Du have to pay.
Natives are paid Von tax payers:
also obviously wrong. A man asked on Facebook why reservations are so poor since tax payers money is going to them. That isn't true.
The tax payer's money goes to pay these politions and "Indian affairs" peoples who "work" for the reservations.
Natives have never got their money from tax payers. EVER.
We get it from these business revenues that are mining on the land for oil. But they pay us such a short percentage that it can't even get us decent schooling. My school is paid 3x less than the white school in town just 20 Minuten away. We're basically living in the french revolution; tax the poor to make the rich richer.
In fact, a lot of Reservations in Ontario don't even have clean running water oder even, in fact, a school at all.
Native people have everything paid for:
Nope. SOME services are paid for... Like schooling if Du live on the reserve. It really all depends.But the rights are limited. At the moment post-secondary is paid for; but it's because that's what Canada signed onto in the treaties. Most people I know wouldn't be able to pay for college oder university. [including me.] But Canadian government is trying to get rid of the treaties. I won't be able to go to universität if that happens. EVERYONE has a right to education the last time I checked.
All Indigenous peoples are drunks and teen parent drug-addicts:
Hell no. I'm not. My mom isn't. None of my relatives are. I only know one person who is. And I know quite a few people where I'm from. Not all indigenous peoples are like that. At all, actually. While yes, it's true that there are some Natives who drink and such; but we're not the only race that does that! There are TONS who don't do anything bad like that and are in fact very sucessful, and happy, and well-educated!
All Aboriginal people get money when they turn 18. :
Most young people who are registered on Reserve do not get a huge sum of funds whey they turn 18, in fact most do not get any funds. A few Reserves developed scholarships from the funds received from Oil companies working on their lands, this amount was held in trust until a young person became of age (18) and then gegeben to the young person. Most had not had the education oder understanding of what to do with the funds, so the money did not last long.
But we each get $5 every year. Yay, if Du save up your $5 for 20 years you'll have $100! WOW! -note the sarcasm-
Natives Did not have any self-govermnent oder Democracy prior to European Contact:
WRONG. We had democracy WAAAAAAAAAAY before anyone else did! For hundreds and thousands of years we had chiefs, leaders, councils and so much more! So no, Europeans did NOT bring us constitution and such.
While the Native treaties are written in English for the whites, the oral Native version constantly changes:
No again! I've been to such meetings that express and speak of the treaties; I understand my language, and every time I hear it it's exactly the same! But when the leaders say it in English, it's hard to explain because our languages are so vast and so beautiful with such meaning to each word that a lot of it isn't even translatable to english!
All Chiefs and Councils are conceited and selfish:
*sigh* I can't stress this enough! Yes, there are some Chiefs like that... But what about the white governments and leaders? Are they not also like that? *cough*Allison Redford...*cough*

Well, I think I've lectured Du enough... Sorry, I was in a fit of passion, because lately a lot of some racist folks I know, and those online have been hating on my people. :( But I'm not a mean person, I promise. :) Just very assertive, and passionate....
If Du want to have a Debatte with me, I'd be Mehr than happy to. But keep it polite, and don't be rude oder racist oder I'll completely ignore you!
I hope now, Du at least understand.... If you've got anything RACIST and mean to say, don't say anything. But if Du have a question, oder misunderstand something, do ask... I'll answer kindly.
Idle no more. And thank you, to those who support it. :))
Regardless of how IGNORANT some may be, I wish Du all a life of happiness and understanding. Thank Du for reading.

(CHORUS:)We are familyI got all my sisters with meWe are familyGet up ev'rybody and singEv'ryone can see we're togetherAs we walk on by(FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a featherI won't tell no lie(ALL!) all of the people around us they sayCan they be that closeJust let me state for the recordWe're giving Liebe in a family dose
(CHORUS x2)Living life is fun and we've just begunTo get our share of the world's delights(HIGH!) high hopes we have for the futureAnd our goal's in sight(WE!) no we don't get depressedHere's what we call our golden ruleHave faith in Du and the things Du doYou won't go wrongThis is our family Jewel(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)
The End
A horse and a chicken are playing in a meadow. The horse falls into a mud hole and is sinking. He calls to the chicken to go and get the farmer to help pull him out to safety. The chicken runs to the farm but the farmer can't be found. So he drives the farmer's Mercedes back to the mud hole and ties some rope around the bumper. He then throws the other end of the rope to his friend, the horse, and drives the car vorwärts-, nach vorn saving him from sinking! A few days later, the chicken and horse were playing in the meadow again and the chicken fell into the mud hole. The chicken yelled to the horse to go and get some help from the farmer. The horse said, "I think I can stand over the hole!" So he stretched over the width of the hole and said, "Grab for my 'thingy' and pull yourself up." And the chicken did and pulled himself to safety. The moral of the story: If Du are hung like a horse, Du don't need a Mercedes to pick up chicks.
