鈥淚t鈥檚 not that we abandoned our villages or that we weren鈥檛 caring for our poles,鈥 says Amy Parent, a Nisga鈥檃 member and research chair in Indigenous education at 尤物视频 in Vancouver. 鈥淲e were simply out food fishing.

鈥淔or us, it鈥檚 the modern-day equivalent of going to the grocery store and having the government come along and sell your house and have some anthropologist come in and take your precious family belongings. And shortly thereafter, you鈥檙e going to have a church official show up and come take your children away.鈥
