Yes, and look how well they worked! *sarcasm* I actually am Canadian, and the gov. is/has finally taken some steps to correct some of the injustices that these poor people and their families have suffered through.

Very powerful song. Thank you for writing it. I'm sick of the fact that a lot of First Nations people have to live in sub-standard housing, and I feel sick that they themselves feel powerless.
