Everyone wants to forget
by Boston DUI lawyer
Tue, 01/11/2011 - 04:35
Everyone wants to forget about the Native American's rights! It is sad, especially since they are so visible in British Columbia. Although the Olympics solidified Canada as a top notch country, we have to wonder how great it is when it treats its Natives so badly. This is a great interview that definitely made me think.
