I go to a lot of remote areas with my job and I have had numerous encounters with First Nations people who threaten me just because of my skin colour. I have had my property vandalized with racist comments as well. It happens so often that we don't even spend the night in certain communities any more.

Some of my best friends are First Nations people, but I have also experienced a lot of racism from that end as well.
