I regret I was not there long enough to seek out this local history. Your countries history of the relationship with the aboriginal population has been so dramatically more ruthless than our's in Canada.<br />If the British had lived up to their commitment to the Indian tribes that fought with them against the American invasion a large part of the Upper Midwest might have been a Indian territory, a country of their own. The British failed to fight for this in the final agreement with the Americans. In this way I guess you could say the Americans won that war and the Indians definitely lost. We in Canada feel we won that war for we prevented the annexation by the Americans (one of those cake walk aggresions your politicians are famous for). The Nations of the Three fires did repopulate Manitoulin Island and some tribes migrated to Southern Ontario as American settlers took over their lands.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-81603280443733778922013-09-26T04:49:18.142-06:002013-09-26T04:49:18.142-06:00I do enjoy your history lessons.

As Far Side notes, the government failed to send much-needed food as promised. If that hadn't happened, something else would have, because our country was busy taking indigenous people's land and depriving them of resources. We need to know about our history in order for mutual forgiveness to be meaningful.Nancy/BLissed-Out Grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17223278142557533175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2374808830322685957.post-61375121476871707892013-09-23T16:11:20.079-06:002013-09-23T16:11:20.079-06:00It was such a sad confused situation.
