       From what I rember of the history that I took quite a few years ago now
the canadians never attempted to wipe out the Native Indians unlike the American
s (people of the U.S.of A. ). We mearly put them into reservations and stole th-
ier land. The Americand delibertly(sp) did things like giving the Indians
blankets which had belonged to people who died of smallpox. Even then it was
known that this was a way to spread smallpox, and that such articles should
be burnt. They ( the Americans) also tried to exterminate all of the buffalo
since the indian depended on it for food.
    
         As for Mexico, I would suggest that someone from one of the native
groups go over to Spain and claim all the land in the name of the Indian
ruler and Gods. Then they should rape all the women and enslave all the men
and generaly behave like right bastards for a while -).  
	
	In closing I had better state that I don't consider the present admin-
istration to be at fault, but I think that people should be prepared to fix
the mistakes of thier fore-fathers

PS: In Canada there have already been quite a few cases fought by the Indians
    about the loss of thier lands, and they are collecting quite a lot of
    comenpensation. Also these are my own thoughts and do not have anything
    to do with Dalhousie University.
