Historical Discussion / Native Americans - Then & Now
« on: July 04, 2014, 10:38:42 pm »
not sure if this is the right board, but anyway.
so. im on holidays at the moment in Vancouver (I am originally Canadian), and I have learnt some disturbing stuff about the Natives here..
So for those who don't know about what the claims are for the Native Americans, basically what happened is that Queen Victoria said just a few sentences that has come back to haunt the government of Canada.
Queen Victoria was a really generous person, and well, maybe too generous, she basically said to all Native Americans that she will protect them forever.
Now, of course the Natives aren't too happy about the white man coming and basically saying ''this is our land now, fuck off'' so in Canada, the fight between the Indian bands and the Government of Canada has lasted over 100 years. The Native Americans have special rights here, so basically they don't need a license to o whatever it takes to survive, and are exempted from jail for certain crimes.. eg killing endangered animals. the problem is, that they abuse that power, and use that power to net spawning trout and other fish in lakes, kill them, and feed them to their dogs. that's just one example.
the government has tried to help them, but they just wont listen, example is that the government built a recreation center in an Indian reservation, and soon after it was finished, the local Native kids burnt it down.
the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are literally afraid to confront them about their doings, fearing for their life, and the mounties are known for their braveness.
they also have the ability to claim lands in which are sacred to them, but the problem is that there is no-one who can verify that its actually a sacred piece of Native land, until a few years ago, which of course, they claimed more lands than they actually owned.
And all the while they still claim that they are pro the environment and don't want anything to happen to their sacred grounds.
this thread is to make people aware that the Natives aren't as they seem and can actually do terrible things. I myself thought they were pro the environment and I have no problem for them claiming lands for preservation, but when they destroy the supposed sacred lands, I draw the line.
discuss!

Historical Discussion / ANZAC Day & Remembrance Day
« on: April 25, 2014, 06:14:52 am »
A place to talk about ANZAC day, which is today, and remembrance day.
ANZAC day, for those who dont know, is a day to celebrate the soldiers who put down their lives for Australia and New Zealand. It is celebrated on the 25th April. We have it on this day because of one battle/invasion - Gallipoli. The ANZACS stormed ANZAC cove with courage, devotion and teamwork, many lost their lives, but we have not forgotten them.
A song done in tribute to the fallen -

Historical Reenactment / 150th Cedar Creek
« on: January 11, 2014, 07:23:09 am »
Just a place to exclusively talk about the 150th Cedar Creek.
I will start off, so im looking at coming over from straya and have been offered a place as a rifleman in the 4th Texas. Even though i am under 16 and will be under 16 at the time of the event, I hold my minors permit, which will entitle me to being able to carry a musket into the field.
Flight costs for me will be a bit over 2 grand, which I hope wont be too much of a probelm. A guy over there also knows a place in Cedar Creek, VA that i can stay at for $35 per night.
What are everyone elses plans if you are going to this event?
