I'm sorry - but this is the opinion of the dominant culture. The Native Americans were here, and had respect for the land provided by mother earth. There were First Nation civilizations throughout North America which were in many cases socially and culturally years ahead of the now dominate culture. The Europeans came to this land to find gold, wealth and land which could be claimed under their law. No where else in the world where one force conquered another was there ever the claim "they were immigrants too." Your comment is directly proportional in the magnitude to Hitler's claim that Germany "needed room to grow." Or do you justify the RCMP going into First Nations communities and taking the children in midnight raids until the 70's - sending the children into the US or other non-native homes? I'm an Albertan in Saskatchewan. Treaty 6 and 7 in our provinces are different than what the United States did with the First Nations. These two treaties share the land, but retained ownership with the Crown in the concept "we are all treaty people" to live together. There is a lot more history about what the dominant culture has done to the first nations, the real truth hidden, the victor writing the text books for schools. Trump would call it "False news" or his information "Alternate facts." History is being rewritten again, by the new dominant culture - and he will be writing the new text books - the way he wants too. That would be with out modern immigrants of all cultures, women back to the days of 1Timothy 2:12 ‘do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.’ (meaning subservient, barefoot, pregnant, in the kitchen), and the LGBTQ2 community being controlled or worse.
Do you really want to isolate other potential allies like the First Nations in a human rights fight? The LGBTQ2 people need friends from every sector, even the red neck Albertans.
Sorry my first post is such a contentious topic.
