Agreed! It was a privilege to meet him and to hear him speak when he came to the Yukon.

@@delmarsimpson8117 Oh I agree!! They said to me: We already see you like dark meat! XD

Yeah cause that’s my dad is that speaker

Wow! The ignorance in this comment is a lot. Or maybe it's the lack of knowledge. That you feel the need to discredit someone's culture because it's different from yours. And that you blame things such as addiction on culture rather than see it for what it is- a response to PTSD and intergenerational trauma, all experienced through the cultural genocide your so called "modicum of ambition and personal growth" that residential schools taught. Your turning a blind eye to the reality of so many people, and the only positive thing is that you might not relate because these atrocities may not run in your bloodline.

@@lucynyoro610 Wow!! Your status card is showing. Don't worry, I will continue to contribute to your welfare cheque. Relax, have another beer...

@@josepharnold2923 the concept was to kill the indian in the child whats valid about that

The only freeloaders are in the House of Useless Eaters on Parliament Hill. Under the Indian Act a Band Chief and Council have less legal authority than a city council, a Reserve government can't even zone Reserve lands and any municipal project, like a new well, requires federal ministry approval. A few years back, Trudeau pledged $700 million for on reserve housing, 50% disappeared into the federal government bureaucracy which could not explain where the money went, but still blamed corrupt Chiefs for poor housing. It is constitutionally illegal for a province to provide services such as schooling, healthcare or housing on reserve because the person of a Status Indian does not exist within provincial jurisdiction, however, section 88 of the Indian Act makes provincial legislation of general application (like child welfare laws) apply as though the federal government had passed the province's laws federally. This gives federal permit to provincial CPS to take Status Indian children off reserve (while being legally blind to Indian Status) for a lack of safe housing which the federal government was itself obligated under the Indian Act to provide to that child because she is a Status Indian.

@@arconn8883 This is why we need to dissolve the Indian act and treaties and aboriginals can live like every other Canadian..not better..not worse...they're considered second class because they contribute nothing yet expect everything done for them..they're like special Ed children and the government are the teachers.

Canadian "Indian": Wants to live in the literal woods 1000s of kms away from any modicum of civilization. Doesnt want any part of the white mans world. Supplies must be helicoptered in. Also Canadian Indian: My helicoptered in Orange juice is too expensive. This is b.s. I want exotic fruit juice for the price they pay in Toronto, or else it is racism. Also, I demand welfare, no taxes, a free skidoo every winter, and my kids can take 6 months off from school just because. Also, everytime we go nuts and murder a woman and dump her body in one of the most remote ppaces on the planet, with a million square km of nothing but tundra....if nobody can find the body, it's because of racism. Canadian Indians are spoiled brats. There are 10000s of people who would switch with them in a heartbeat just to be offgrid, and who wouldnt presume government would have to dig their wells for them, or provide them with whatever they want to live in the woods. For a supposed self sufficient people, they sure cant do much for themselves.

Wow! All I hear is jealousy and yt privilege. However, I'm pretty sure he lives comfortable, probably more comfortably that you and I highly doubt he is in need of hand outs.

@@lorigauthier6781 The speaker isn't white. I don't know if he's jealous of white people, but he's exhibiting the same behavior he's denouncing.

@@history6988 wasn't talking about Kevin. He's a great guy. I've heard him speak in person.

@@history6988 I think you need to watch the video again. I don't think Mr Lamoureaux has jealousy towards anyone. He is definitely a role model for indigenous youth. Especially in Canada. I don't think you understand his point of view. But for many indigenous people his words and ideas resemble a lot of our thoughts and experiences. And that's okay that you can't relate to what he says. In fact, be thankful that you can't relate. I've re watched this video and am having a hard time seeing exactly how one would conclude he's endorsing oppression, or genocide. Please enlighted me as to how Mr Lamoureaux gave you this conclusion in his talk. What exactly brought you to those conclusions?

I don't think you got the memo.
