Does this mean that if a sum of money can be agreed upon as being enough to feed 7 generations, that the Enbridge pipeline has First Nations blessings? Is that what it comes down to?
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

ReplyDeleteHave you seen this. Take a look notice the name Enbridge.
Does this mean that if a sum of money can be agreed upon as being enough to feed 7 generations, that the Enbridge pipeline has First Nations blessings? Is that what it comes down to?
ReplyDeleteFor people like Elmer Derrick, one generation is enough.
DeleteFor elders like Gerald Amos, a thousand would be insufficient.
