Damn, I agree with Fleury, WTF?!??
As some have stated above, it is a two way street. There's negative feelings on both sides of this. But I can't say I blame the Natives for their negative feelings towards white people. Native Americans have had a terrible deal since the Euros hit the shores 400+ years ago. And its a bloody shame because they have an absolutely fascinating culture.
When I was ten years old, my 2 best friends were part Native. Their father was a big German guy and their mom was full blooded Cree indian. She was 4'10" tall and was one of the toughest women I have ever known. And I've never met a more hard working bunch in my life.
But I also believe you need to want to help yourself as well. My aformetioned friend from the above paragraph ended up moving away from Wetaskiwin because he was tired of dealing with "all of the drunk natives".
