Introducing the source material for Indigenous law on land claims

approximately 60 km from Comox, BC where the current land grab scam is going on, we have a historic example of how the coastal indigenous, Indians, aboriginals, first nations whatever they are negotiated land titles:


Horne and his men approached the Big Qualicum in the very early hours of the morning and put in to shore about a mile south of the river’s mouth. At about six o’clock, Horne was awakened by one of his men, who in a silent gesture pointed out the boat-loads of Haida Indians entering the Mouth of the Big Qualicum.

“We were fully awake without any loss of time and from the edge of the timber, we saw these large northern canoes enter the creek one after the other, and disappear behind the brush which bordered the banks of the stream. Then we took breakfast, and while doing so, thick volumes of smoke arose from the creek and poured down across the front of the timber where we lay concealed.

“We waited patiently to see whether those [Haida] Indians would return or not. It was fully twelve o’clock before the first of them came into view in the lower reaches of the creek. We were horrified at the antics of these demons in human shape, as they rent the air with their shouts and yells. One or two of those manning each canoe would be standing upright, going through strange motions and holding a human head by the hair in either or both hands... In an hour’s time, they were all out of sight behind a bend in the shore line. There was no doubt in our mind but that we were about to face some dreadful tragedy.”

Horne and his men entered the Indian village and found that the Qualicum Band had been annihilated. Most had been murdered and mutilated. Only one old woman was barely alive when the H.B.C. men arrived and, before she died a few moments later, she gave a brief account of the massacre.
“They had all been asleep in the large rancherie when the Haidahs crept in with stealthy step, and more than half of those asleep were killed without awakening. The remainder were quickly killed, there being five Haidahs to one of themselves. She was wounded with a spear, but had seized a bow and fled to the side of the creek and had hidden herself beneath the bank. The Haidahs had taken away with them two young women, four little girls, and two small boys. This expedition was in revenge for the killing of one of the Haidahs when attempting to carry off the daughter of one of the principal men who live where the death currents meet"

So the indigenous system of land law involved wiping out entire tribes, over blood feuds, without warning in brutal sneak attack raids where all the women were taken away to be raped and all the men were killed. In this new, post-national anti-colonial reality... this is how the government of Canada is expected to settle aboriginal title?

What you guys are missing out on is the spirituality. The spirits must be honored, and if that requires severing the heads of dozens of neighbours then that's what must be done! These ways of being are completely justified by the warm comfort of the spirits. Why are you so concerned for indigenous people dominating your way of life?
 
Sounds reasonable

They got to sleep sometime. Its the new law of the land who will stop the new tribal wars? The RCMP? Not their jurisdiction no more. The military?? Not their jurisdiction.

Tribalism is the law. May the best tribe win

This is the way all indians conducted warfare, they were viscous beyond European imagining, the noble savage is a lie.
