Leech River Welfare Dilemma

May 13, 2010

My thoughts about this situation are that Marvin Redstone, the band manager is stuck between a rock and a hard place.  In my views he still is the right person to make the best solution because his main objective is the children and their future.  He is contemplating and putting much thought into his decision and is trying to come up with the best outcome to the whole situation, the right and best solution possible for everyone that is involved.  The children, the candidates and the chief and the members will all be affected by his decision and to the best of his ability he will not be able to please everyone but will put up a fight doing so. 

                Each candidate makes a good choice but they all have their pros and cons about the whole situation.  Sally Northwind has experience with on the job training but is it proper training?  Mike Bluesky has conflict of interest but he has the education.  Lucy Bearcat has the experience but she was caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

Kanehsatake 270 Years of Resistance

In the year 1990 in the village of Oka, Quebec a confrontation began between the Mohawks and the Quebec police and the Canadian army.  The confrontation lasted quite a significant amount of days.  Once again the Mohawks stood their grounds to protect their land and all the promises that were made to them.  The Mohawks barricaded themselves in their land and fought to protect their land.   The government overreact and didn’t know how to handle the situation.  The standoff lasted 78 days and the whole purpose was an Aboriginal struggle against the government once again.

This was an informative video and I enjoyed very much.  The situation was very concerning to think this situation only happened years ago and could happen again in the near future.  I hope the government learned how to handle the crisis they made for themselves.  From my point of view the Mohawks had every right to protect what was theirs in the beginning.
