"We are sorry": Canada apologizes to 9 First Nations after labelling Dakota and Lakota as refugees

- Canada’s Crown-Indigenous relations minister Gary Anandasangaree said at a ceremony at Whitecap Dakota First Nation on Monday that “On behalf of the Government of Canada and all Canadians, we seek to begin to mend this injustice with three simple words: We are sorry.” Historical mistreatment and discrimination, including decades of the Dakota and Lakota being labelled as refugees, were addressed in the apology to nine First Nations in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
The Dakota and Lakota, who have held land in Canada and the United States, have long had a strong presence in the country. However, the Canadian government never recognized them as Aboriginal Peoples of Canada under the Constitution. Instead, they were viewed as strangers from the United States seeking refuge from the American military. The Dakota and Lakota were defeated in battle by the Americans in the 1860s and 1870s, forcing many to move north. Canada allowed them to stay but ignored their title to land.
As a result, the Dakota and Lakota were not invited to sign treaties and received no treaty rights. They received smaller reserves and fewer economic supports than other Indigenous groups. Anandasangaree said Canada’s failure to offer recognition hurt generations of Dakota and Lakota. “There’s no way to undo the years of collective trauma your people and nations endure to this day,” Anandasangaree said.

excuse me but why is a Sri Lankan born citizen in charge of First Nations affairs? This is so wrong on many levels
@@drquinnmedicinewoman7786 I guess he sees them as the same
because a FN withi integrity trudeau had, was fired from his party for having integrity
because this gov't thinks 'indian' is an 'indian'? 😅
why were 39/40 First Nations Affairs ministers white? That was so wrong on so many levels
80% of liberal party members are not even Canadian
Why you getting an New Delhi Indian to apologize?
He is not an indianm
Yes he is!
@@laughoutloud3404 he is srilankan. He born in srilanka. Im from srilanka. Don't confuse ibetween ndia and srilanka . We are cleaner, educated than induans.
@@arunjosep1410 lol tell that to whitey
The country is a disaster.
@@ConceptualRift nicely putting it
Still no apology to the Home Children.
@@MsBhappygo ask the queen. It's her fault
The people who did the labelling should be apologizing.
I'm Canadian, and I haven't done anything bad to First Nation people, so I don't have to apologize. On the contrary I was robbed by them many times. And about action? Canadians are in action working like crazy but I haven't seen first nation in action yet.
You don’t need to but the government sure does.
You wouldn’t be Canadian if they weren’t allies in 1812 , learn your history not the history books shoved down your throat 😂
Nobody said you needed to apologize. The government on the other hand…
What a crock ,there refugees from America ,not even Canadian and yet you give up Canadian Native Lands and Rights to foreigners ,no Canada does not apologize ,Canada wants an Apology especially the tax paying Canadians .
They were there before the borders, so why would they apply?
There is no concept of borders for the Dakota and Lakota, they possess borders and lands on both sides of the border and come from the same nation, is it not enough that you took their land, lives, and way of life, you want to take take take, what does it cost you to give them treaty rights, of which they are rightfully entitled to? Greed is the source of all evil I tell you, greed of power and money, the Bible says this, and it's ever so apparent with just a glance at these comments. I don't understand how this level of hate is able to thrive in this country, you too often generalize people into one pigeonholed conformity and view them as less than human, and it's this type of non-compassion and philosophy that is so dangerous to mankind
@@jolenajade Exactly, I wish these people could think through more than one successive thought
Isn’t this now the third time The First Nations were given an apology. First Harper in 2015 apologized the Justin did it I do believe in 2015 now again. Enough already with the apologies.
@langgp AND the Pope. Let’s not forget his public and personal apology. You know? For the repeated claims of residential school children remains that were…never found.
No more apologies! Apologize to taxpayers for the billions of dollars taken only to be squandered and then have the nerve to demand more!
@user-cc5od3zk4p 👏🤜🤛👍 Exactly. If people knew both the provincial and federal budgets for each province, between the 2 govt’s, they’re poop themselves. It’s past ridiculous.
@@jekimjo Stop crying about taxes and playing the victim, we all go through the same hardships and pay the same taxes, man up and stop biatching
I’d like an apology from the Liberal government.
@@wheelzwheela lol, like it would mean anything coming from them
Finally, an Indian in charge of Indian affairs.
Accepting the apology. But they want action, which means money. I'm sorry, but these people just don't stop playing the victim. Will it ever end?
When they get the respect and worth that they deserve?
Omg
@@STandM3 Want it? Earn it.
You wouldn’t be saying that if you knew how they were treated back then, what a tone deaf statement.
@@KaozVirtusBack when ? .
All they do is apologize. Nothing wrong with that, but this government should apologize for what it has done to this country.
@@888Longball and their apologies are empty words
Only 33 percent of Canadians voted for this clown show and yet Trudeau is apologizing for all Canadians, let the 33 percent apologize.
Sorry, apologize about what? They were pushed into the country by the Americans. The Americans can apologize and make a land treaty with them.
What's that person doing in that position?
Cry
@@SocratesAurelius Close your mouth!
What do you mean?
@@bigpacthatseazye3462 ha ha ha ha ha!
@@davethomas6681 Clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about 🤣
Please Note: Canadians have had it. Stop
Have had it what?
More jeets in Parliament than Native Americans ,yeah they got your back, Punjabi can be spoken on the hill , is cree or any other dialect spoken ??
what did the dakotas and lakotas have to do with the war of 1812 ?
Nothing, now hand over the cash.
Ffs, when will this be over?
I lost my job of 35yrs because of Trudeau and his vaccine mandates. Where's my apology?
Should have just paid for forged documents
apologize for what?
Abuse of Indegenous people for over 150 years
ACTION, ACTION, ACTION! Or translates to $$$$$$$$$$$$ for none tax payers yet again
Apologies . . . Again?
Is there something in Canada a non Indigenous can do , that an Indigenous can't ? Living in Canada my whole Life its the other way around. Example carton of cigarettes 186.00 , Indigenous 20.00 and it's illegal for me to buy their smokes !
Now Trudeau must apologize for ruining Canada
Why you have a Sri Lankan running the show?
Cry about it 😊
@@SocratesAurelius 👳♀🤡💩☠👺😭😭😱
Because diversity is our strength
It doesn't make sense right ?
He's is canadian
The first nation to get an apology from the second nation. Weird hats.
The federal goverment does not speak for Canadians!
Grown adults dressing up with feather hats, asking everyone to apologize to them before they ask, yet again, for more hand outs that go to their top 1% - most FN people will never see a penny.
Exactly. They are like a Monarchy Chief=King
It’s been breaded into them over all the years I want I want whin and cry
Those feather hats are part of their culture smart man
Victim hood enough already
Yes… those self proclaimed chosen ones…enough whining already!!
No apologies ever to these people🇨🇦Canada has nothing to apologize for. Who is this brown person apologizing on behalf of?Not me certainly.
What difference does it make if the speaker came from Sri Lanka or Mars? WHO cares if they are now Canadian? does him being brown or black or yellow make him less a Canadian? Your Klan robes are showing
I am sick of apologies. We have nothing to apologize for
Justin will apologize and natives will win the lottery with a multi million dollar settlement from tax Payers
Explain how you fool , they aren’t treaty 😂
@justanopinion-ub9pp You mean BILLIONS. 53 billion here, another 7 there, 5+ etc.. Not to mention the annual MINIMUM of 1 billion per year, (in my province at least).
@@Butterloaffss You're the fool bucco
@@justanopinion-ub9pp lmao good one fools open their mouths with out thinking and you did just that😂
This is one of the biggest scams that has actual historical facts. Somebody must be addicted to apologizing.
All is forgiven and we all lived happily ever paying most of our income to the government. The end
Pleasantries and platitudes fall on deaf ears. It's a new screwing.
They don't speak for us.
1812. WHAT??? You need reporters who have some minimal idea of what is going on.
This is not the true spirit of sorryness. Sending a Siri Lankan origin to apologise for your sins
I am not sorry.
Liberal Aid, “sir, don’t you think it might be an issue making a Sri Lankan minister of Indigenous Affairs? I mean, he wasn’t even born in Canada?!?”
Trudeau, “Sri Lankan, Indian, what’s the difference eh?”
Would you rather government officials be white males only? who cares where the minister was born?
Election year is coming
@@jameschou888 not soon enough
I don't apologize !!!!!
This what we call foreign countries interference!
FOR CRYING OUT LOAD ..... a father is NOT guilty of his son's sin's and the son is NOT guilty of his father's sin's. Canadians did nothing to first nations people/blacks or anyone else for that matter. If those in power were evil then they were wicked and are facing judgement in heaven by ALMIGHTY G-D/JESUS. Stop the division already.
You just get to benefit from it.
@@annoyed707 Give me G-D'S/JESUS'S laws over man's so called laws any day every day. Be Blessed.
The last residential school closed way back in the mists of time in 1996. Nobody alive today can remember it is so far back.
There we go again, apologizing for the things (some) of our ancestors did while we - the current generation - foot the bill. It’s pathetic. Every culture has been taken over at some point - including the ‘native’ population. In fact they regularly fought amongst themselves before the Europeans arrived. Can we all please just grow up and move on?
Exactly, how many other countries apologize after a war, then continue to give $$
100 years later. make no mistake, by "action" they mean money...Handouts for every minority group anyone can come up with...
Seeing as the last residential school in Canada closed in 1996 its not just ancestors. Which war was it that we we conquered in? No it was treaties signed Nation to Nation and your side continually fails to live up to the bargains made. Or the drag out the papal bull of 1493 that declares indigenous people to be sub human, flora and fauna etc. and therefore Agreements made need not be kept. Its time for YOU to grow up and pay your bills, if you had years ago the cost would not be what it is.
@@jolenajade Thank you, but don't bother with these people. They'd rather live in ignorance than educate themselves because they would need to have accountability for themselves and the confirmation bias they posses.
Yes, Indigenous people fought amongst themselves. Siblings do it all the time. But there were legal documents signed between *sovereign* nations with the Crown and federal government that are not being upheld. It's not entirely about money, but honoring the negotiations set in the Treaties. Not to mention the media shown 5 seconds of a snippet with little context of what the chiefs were actually saying.
Ignorance is bliss.
First step taken in 2024? We should all be ashamed.
lol I’m not apologizing for something that happened in the dark ages
We are Ashamed .... of the Apology
What did I do wrong?
I like Pierre Polivre plan to let them accuse their own money whenever they want and getting rid of the red tape in order to get it
how many successive govt in the last 50 years have given billions and billions to these "first nations" and they still complain they dont have clean drinking water? where does all that money go? its another money laundering scam they learned from trudeau
An apology will not address the issues, 29 First Nations Communities still without clean drinking water
That's because they aren't paying for it. You think cities have clean water because of government? No. People pay water bills for that service
@@bjorn____ they have been given billions and cheilfs steal it!
What the hell do they spend all that money the government gives them they can fix the drinking water problem them selves
they keep getting the Funding and the Chiefs Launder the Money to their Friends and Family
The Work Never Gets Completed
....Been happening for Decades
enough apologies.. provide restitutions
The liberals are the best of apologies . Nothing else. He needs votes!
.
I watched the Chiefs talking to this minister and it seemed he sat there like a dummy not saying a word.
Because He knows Nothing of Canadian History
First step is the apology, second step is to write a huge cheque, third step is to keep writing those cheques because no amount of money will ever be enough because this is all about the money.
Over 900 billion+ so far, how much does this " apology " cost the taxpayers!
It is baffling to me that first nations still fall for the lies of the government.
A Sri Lankan in charge of Indian Affairs and a Chinese Dr managing Indian Health Services. Truth and Reconciliation ❤
The population of foreign international students in Canada is larger than the entire native population. Let that sink in. Who’s taking the land now?
Yeah no, I don't apologize.
They do NOT apologize for all Canadians as we have NOTHING to apologize for. NONE OF US WERE HERE THEN.
As a real Canadian (born and raised) I feel abused and taken advantage of by these current so-called natives. I would like compensation in the form of land, cash, no responsibility to contribute to Canada and a public appology
Is an apology from the LIBNDP Social Disease Party actually worth anything?
He finally showed up to work.
This is a huge win for the Dakota and Lakota people and for Indigenous people as a whole and a step in the right direction!
Do not apologize on my behalf .... You No Longer Represent the People in Good Faith.
Stop apologizing for stuff none of us even did.
Poor Native People .They will never get justice .
I'm native and I'm focused on the present and the future unlike the rest of the idiots stuck in the past
@@Shrekislove-um6st
Are you ? Good for you ! 😁
??? Hold up. Did they not meet the requirement? You dont just get to be a refugee by showing up, you do have to meet requirements and prove that you meet them. Also Canada wasn't a thing in 1812. It wasn't a nation, it wasn't even a dominion at that point. What did the other tribes say about them at the time? What did the other tribes conclude about them being privee to the same rights as those that do have ancestral claim to land that it currently within the confines of Canada? Did they side against the Americans for their own benefit and expect to just be lumped in with the Loyalists without actually pledging themselves to the monarch of Britain at the time??? Come on Global, give us receipts
They were partners with the British crown to defeat the 17th Calvery (custard) and we did but just because we didn’t sign a treaty for 5$ they were left and considered refugees meaning Canada wouldn’t be a country today with out them learn your history not the one you swallowed down your throat😂
India is so generous to native's
Don't make the apology cost the tax payers...we have had it with this crap. Your talking over 100 years ago. GET. OVER. IT.
Speak for yourself. You don’t speak for Canada. I will never apologize for a wrong I did not commit and will never teach my children to. Apologize in your own name, not in ours.
Reasons for Muslim Uyghur detention in one of 380 Xinjiang camps in China 🇨🇳 include:
- having a beard,
- wearing a veil,
- applying for a passport,
- possessing a Quran,
- praying,
- downloading WhatsApp and
- having too many children.
An apology to start, and a few billion to follow.. The victimness is never ending... grow up and move on.
9 first nations? 9 people can't come first in a race. Is this the first through ninth nations?? Odd. My family predates confederation, why am I not considered native?
Will money solve the issue?
Show me the MONEY!!!!
I'm Sowy. Now where is my free cash?
Who cares?
Nope. Not interested. Speak for yourselves.
No apologies ftom me or my family.
this happened last week. why are yall so slow?!
Made sure everyone got out of town before posting on line.
You’ve gotta be kidding me!!!?
dont do something you have to be sorry
They are americans tribes though from america but born in canada
Tatanka Oyate means Buffalo people, where ever they roamed they followed like seasons , learn your history😂
And what is next?🤔government is going to repair the damage?

In 50 years the natives will see first hand just how nice Islam is towards them ❤
Are you sure about that?
I'm native and I don't see any respect towards me
I'm also one of the only native conservatives
@@Shrekislove-um6st Did you think I was serious? It will be brutal.
Finally, this never should have happened! My fellow first nations people are on the road to getting what they deserve. But this video kind of rubbed me the wrong way. The east indian apologizing to north american indians seemed to be a tongue in cheek f u.... am i wrong?
What about all the tribes????
Learn the history, the others are treaties Dakota/Lakota ARE NOT TREATY as we did not sell out to 5$ from Canada
Alll Indigenous lands ...
Bahahahaha!!! Ur nobody just like the rest of us Canadians! Welcome!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Apologies are shallow we want MONEY!!!
yeah always about money. they could have had more money but they helped destroy the gas and oil sector. how many successive govts in the last 50 years gave them billions and billions but they still complain they dont have clean drinking water? money laundering is what this is.

Pay them what? What lands...who did they take it from?
