We Are All Treaty People

We Are All Treaty People You Might Be A Liberal 34 Comments

On Friday, the Supreme Court of A Post-National Nation ruled…

…that Desautel and the 4,000 other members of the Colville Confederated Tribes in Washington state were successors to the Sinixt – and as a result, that they enjoy constitutionally protected Indigenous rights to hunt their traditional lands in Canada.

The closely watched court decision settled longstanding questions over the status of the Sinixt, but it also has the potential to affirm hunting rights in Canada for tens of thousands of Native Americans living in the US dispossessed of traditional territories by an international border drawn hundreds of years ago.

Beauty.

  1. Proving once again, our learned idiots in fancy robes are not serious people…

    note that these Tribes, are tribes, not nations, and just because you had a few hundred nomads wandering around the wilderness following the food back in the 1500s, doesn’t mean that you can call yourself a nations, despite what modernist want to do.

    1. But but but they were so civilized, the most advanced of them even build long houses out of wood, yes really, imagine that!

    2. Quit making sense! Whasa madda whichu? There’s no room for that amongst the wokist horde!

    4. “Solutreans:The first Americans. Dr Stanford Emerson centre 2012”

      “Dr. Dennis J. Stanford speaks at the Emerson Center
      Stanford is director of the Smithsonian’s Paleoindian/Paleoecology Program and Head of the Division of Archaeology. Stanford and Smithsonian staff evaluated the engraved bone found in Vero Beach by James Kennedy and corroborated its age in the June
      2011 “Journal of Archaeological Science.”

  2. Does this mean these American hunter can use their modern sporting rifles (AR et. al.) in the pursuit of their traditional game?
    Asking for a friend.

    1. Sure, as long as their MSR of choice is non-restricted and otherwise compliant under Canada law (i.e., AR’s are out, but certain other semi-auto rifles may be in).

        1. Ditto. “You don’t need an AR to hunt deers” and “they were made to kill the maximum number of people in the least amount of time”. Which is why the natives are allowed to keep them.

  4. Israel is a nation.

    These guys are poachers with a good lawyer, descended from savages long overdue for Darwin’s dustbin.

  6. When in uni I was part of a discussion about native rights. I responded by asking about native responsibilities – how much is the rest of the world owed for raising them from the old stone age? They now have modern literacy, food access, electricity, transportation including flight and skidoos, firearms… they didn’t do that themselves, but they got access to it from the dominant culture that they joined.

    “So how do you know that they wouldn’t have developed it all on their own?” I was asked. “Simple, their starting point was so far back that they didn’t even have the wheel or writing.” “So you can’t prove that they wouldn’t have developed it on their own then.”

    There are some people that are too stupid to try to deal with. I often think that UnMe is one of them, but then a good question from an odd viewpoint will be raised… nah, who am I kidding, UnMe is for entertainment value only at this point.

    And thanks again, Kate, for letting us be entertained!

    1. Except at a buffalo jump, where hundreds to thousands were killed. Most of them were left to rot because they had no way to process them fast enough.

      Crap, my last post forgot to include “refrigeration” (facepalm).

  9. Tell me about Kennewick Man again. Does the supreme courts ruling work in reverse? Can caucasoid people claim their part of Washington State?

  10. I wonder which BC Indian band’s traditional territory this US tribe now has the “rights” to hunt in. Perhaps it’s all of them. That should go over well. Indian tribal wars anyone?

    You’ve got to hand it to the SCOC. When it comes to Indians, they can always be counted on to make a bad situation worse.

    2. The Colville band is due south of Trail, BC and there are no bands in the immediate vicinity. The nearest ones are in the East Kootenay area (Invermere and north of Cranbrook) or else in the Okanagan.

      And, as an aside, the elk he shot wasn’t “native” to the area either. Elk were introduced back in the 60s and 70s.

  12. This could really ruin the day for those six nations folks that got their land from a crown grant after the American Revolution.

    1. The Red Star reports:
      ‘More lawyers required for new tribal wars seek conference site in Caledonia.’

  13. But what if those tribes were driven out of what is now Canada by other aboriginal tribes? Surely those driven-out tribes have no rights in Canada because everything that the aboriginal tribes did was just, fair, equitable and beyond criticism.

  14. Now we getsh to live in You Esh Eh and get free shtuff from Kanada. Let ush now order my chiefly Dodge 1-ton four-buysh-four with the dual rear wheelsh. It’sh our right, you know.

  16. Perhaps the Haida should petition the SCOC to allow them to go back to raiding and pillaging as far south as the mouth of the Columbia (Portland wouldn’t mind – they’d fit right in). They should also be given their “rights” back to take slaves along the way. I can’t see the SCOC saying no, given their record.

  17. If there are silver linings to the diverse band of grifters in this country (and apparently across the border) it’s that they hate each other more than they hate the people they are trying to grift.

    A change is going to come … and it won’t be pretty.
