I’m aware of the arguments that colonialists stole land from indigenous folks, but I didn’t know that they deserve some form of reparations for the ocean winds that we are apparently stealing as well. Can anyone make this make sense?
“We’ve seen a lot of positive momentum in advancing economic reconciliation in renewable energy projects as well as other sectors,” congress co-chair Bob Gloade, chief of the Millbrook First Nation in Nova Scotia, said in a statement.
“However, there is a lot of work left to be done. There needs to be committed focus on integration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous businesses in the offshore wind energy sector.”
Colonists stole land. OK – try this.
The Black Hills of SD and WY are an outlier of the Rocky Mountains. An AI list of successive tribes that wiped out the Indian Tribes to take the place over. Notice how AI claims the tribes just kind of moved on to let a new tribe take over. All very peaceful. Sure thing.
“Lakota Sioux (Teton/Western Sioux): They call the region He Sápa (Black Mountains) or Pahá Sápa (Black Hills), viewing them as a place of origin and deep spiritual significance.
Northern Cheyenne: Historically, the Cheyenne were among the first tribes to inhabit the area before moving onto the plains.
Northern Arapaho: A strong presence in the northern plains and Black Hills region.
Crow: Occupied the area before being displaced by the Lakota in the 18th century.
Kiowa: Inhabited the region prior to moving south.
Mandan, Hidatsa & Arikara Nation: Utilized the broader region.”
I am sure it was all done by aggreement and legal contracts. Oh, sorry just remembered these Indians were all illiterate so more likely by arrows and tomahawks. Who were the Colonists again ?????
The Lakota Sioux , Arapaho, and Cheyenne joined forces and wiped out that yellow hair (aka whitest of the whiteys) Custer in 1876. Yeayyyy Indians!! By 1877 … the US government, had completely run these tribes off onto shitty reservations where they had to beg food provisions from the paleface Chief. And Sitting Bull got bayoneted to death. See ya.
Too bad these tribes didn’t welcome the white man as just another tribe of humans to share the land … right? Share the Land? Isn’t that the Marxist impulse of all indigenous peoples? Lovingly share the great turtle’s resources in peace and harmony? Yeah, that’s the myth that defies reality.

“There needs to be committed focus on integration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous businesses in the offshore wind energy sector.”
Layman’s translation to taxpayer-speak: “Hey where’s OUR cut?!”
correct me if lm wrong, but my belief and expectation is, when company x embarks on some huge project with big upfront costs, they shop around for partners.
its all kinda voluntary, for instance if a 3rd partner is needed but fails to materialize, the proposal gets shelved, no hard feelings. any ‘compensation’ wd be based ONLY on any PRIOR agreed terms.
now the abos come along want to latch onto this like leeches based on ‘who owns the wind? oh we do’
which is a brand new angle. but kinda not really with them . . . . .
Come now, be reasonable. If they didn’t perform the Thunderfish Bean Ritual, then Thunderfish would no longer fart, and there goes your wind farm! Show compassion. Generous compassion.
I said generous, dammit! Are we going to have to call in the goons here?
Canada is populated with vegetative Eloi whose utility is pursued by the grievance industry through harvesting the fiduciary fruit of suicidal empathy through their elected Jacobins and Bolsheviks (essentially Morlocks). IOW, the grievance industry thrives on the the extreme stupidity and legalized criminality of the nation.
Heh, are these grifters accepting responsibility for all wind damage?
After the indigenous have their traditional evening meal: twelve beer and a Crunchie bar, they’ll provide all the onshore wind needed.
Dust in the wind. All we are is dust in the wind.
put that in your pipe and schmoke it.
Indians are asshole
Can anyone make this make sense?
Yes.
It makes just as much sense as all those school yard graves.
