    No. They need to step up to the plate too and respect their fellow man. Besides the stigmatization common amongst non-Native people, there isn't much we can do to help Natives accept the reality of modern life. Some resolutions like reparations are not only ridiculous, they are also implausible.

    I've been told that if the white man (me) would just live like the native man, then life would be peachy. This is in contrast to what I whitnessed this afternoon. Which was a vehicle full of native canadians tossing garbage out of their window. It seems natives are brought up to resent white man, and to externalize their problems rather than take ownership. This is not true for all natives of course, a few of my native friends do not share this paradigm.
    I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire
