Chief Spence was not on a hunger strike. She got all the nutrients she needed by drinking fish broth and meal replacement formulas. Ghandi had nothing and was starving. If it wasn't for her and the looming presence of corrupt chiefs I would have been behind the movement for the most part and I know many Canadians feel the same way. As for governments never caring enough to change the system, they have tried to scrap the indian act on multiple occasions, but there was outrage on the native side (Probably provoked by the chiefs to keep their hold on power).

Well, I don't want to cloud this thread with ugly political discussions, but I might as well give my perspective as a Canadian. First off, I think the issue lies with the current treaties system, and with many of the chiefs who are corrupt and don't know how to manage a community. Many are over paid and fight for more rights not for the betterment of their people but rather for their own benefit. This is largely seen as the reason for the Idle no more movement, which was unfortunately for a time given Chief Spence as its poster child. Support overseas was quite small by the way, I think only 20 or so people showed at the protest in London. I think rather than demanding more rights, and further separation from Canadian society, the move should be towards integration. Fact is, the country is already divided enough and we really don't need hundreds of sovereign pockets at every corner. We are a multicultural society, and the native peoples should belong to that society. Enough with looking at the past and blaming the descendants of those who caused the past grievances. Its better to look at ones self, and find the true reason for why ones life is where it is today. Rather than looking at us European descendants as colonizers look at us as countrymen. Just my perspective.

I'm just going to pack everything as closely together as the game will allow. Thats my plan as well, but this new zoning system will make the job much more frustrating.
