The man who was once leader of the First Nations in Canada has been stripped of his Order of Canada after being convicted of Hate Crimes.
This whole situation is a black eye on the First Nations entire movement and I am glad that it has happened so publicly. It is just too bad that the man was probably in a better situation than most to sympathize with Jews rather than hate then.

No this is not a black eye on natives, this is a black eye on a man who should of been way smarter and of a higher standard. To date only him and Eagleson have been stripped of the order I believe.
The reason I say it is a black eye to Native Americans is that there are a number of people that live in rural areas that already discriminate against First Nations People, and this will just add to these people justifications of why to discriminate against them
