RE: The day Treaty Six died

in #ungrip7 years ago

That is really insightful. I think it's pretty evident that no one in the US can return to where we were before 9/11 even though we may want to. It affects so many things in our economy and society that it can't be rolled back and the circumstances that the native Canadians and Americans live in are much more horribly detrimental to their well being. There is no way that they can escape. Leaving the reservation leaves them without any social or financial backup in Canada (don't know about the US). It's very difficult either way.

"Insightful" is correct...It certainly leaves you with a lot to think about or re-evaluate, doesn't it?! Thank you for commenting, I appreciate it. I think it's a perspective that might get more people to really listen to what's happening...a little empathy is all. The average American/Canadian can identify with 9/11 and perhaps stand in someone else's shoes for a bit to really feel the pain. I know that it must get frustrating trying to continually explain, as @wwf does, and not enough people really hear it, or simply don't seem to care, so I really appreciate your comment here.

I would really love to upvote your comment, because it's a genuine one for sure, but I've totally depleted my voting power and unfortunately have no 'voting love' to pass around :) So instead, I'm passing on my sincere thanks instead! Cheers!

The one big complaint I have with Steemit! All too soon I completely run out of votes! Arrrgh!

haha I feel your pain! I just wrote a blog about '3 resources on steemit' I love, one being steemworld.org. If you haven't heard of it, check it out. There's a manual vote slider on it to use, even if you don't have high SP! So you can spread your votes out further if you choose; more love to give:)

I love steemworld! I have it up on a tab constantly. If you haven't found them already, here are some other tools that I've come across accidentally that I wish I'd known about sooner:

That's wonderful. I hope a lot of people will see it because, as I mentioned, I really wished I'd known that stuff from the beginning. I hated to do information overload on you but if you're doing a post you might also be interested in:
