Roy:  Change "moose" to "Native" and your initial comment would almost fit how millions of American Natives were slaughtered by "settlers".  It would also almost fit the callousness, the off-hand dismissal of everyday acceptance that somehow, Natives are the only alcoholics, the only panhandlers, the only ones on welfare, the only "dirty" people.  I read hundreds of mean comments saying "bush" communities, but that really mean 'Native" communities.  "There are wars between you, because you want, and cannot have".  It has been only 100 years since being Native meant an almost automatic death sentence.  Even today, real-estate agents don't dare sell a house in certain neighborhoods to a non-white, or they will lose listings.  Even now we Alaskan Natives have to be constantly on guard, to keep our 44 million acres, a fraction of our former lands.  And that almost a billion dollars we received?  Wouldn't buy a fifth of a single aircraft carrier.  Meh!
