You missed the point my friend. This is not about blame but about the wisdom of elders from a society that didn't have the issues we face today because they looked at life from a compassionate perspective where value was placed on humanity and nature, not on material things. It is the trappings of corporate and government rule that has lead to the system that now controls us. Mr Lame Deer isn't blaming anyone, he is pointing out how society creates and imprisons all people, not just the mistreatment of the first nations people but of all people on the planet. Society as we know it might be technologically advanced, but could we call it civilized?
