I am tired of my culture being appropriated without any compensation....the iron pot, the musket, steel traps, knives for carving totem poles, map making for figuring out land claim boundaries, Canada's first Prime Minister Sir John A McDonald - who incidentally introduced legislation to give women and Indians the right to vote - check it out it is true (John A. McDonald, the Man Who Made Us - volume 2 - Richard Gwynne), the basis for our education system... and so on. A few bad things did happen, but they were typical of the times back then...
