Well, it's about time.

With the signing of the Nisga'a treaty agreement in British Columbia, Aboriginal Canada has taken a step into the 21st century. After the millennium, we will see a rush of such treaties, but congratulations are in order to the Nisga'a now, who have been pushing for this agreement since the 19th century.

Back a few years ago, some Canadian military personnel serving under the maple leaf in Somalia beat an African kid so badly that he died. While he was dying in Canadian hands, the teenager had to endure a steady stream of racist insults and unspeakable indignities.

After a media storm of hurricane proportions, the Canadian military punished the lowest ranking man, and ignored the involvement of the higher ups. The resulting inquiry was a disgrace to a country that had been held internationally in high regard.

Summer approaches and anyone who is a student of Native current affairs can hear the rumblings beginning to sound. It's going to be another long, intense summer in Indian Country.

A phone call from a CBC news program to Windspeaker this last month got us shaking our heads. CBC often picks Windspeaker's collective brain to short-cut actually researching the issues most affecting Canada's Aboriginal people.

"Is there going to be more action at Ipperwash?" a representative of Canada's broadcasting giant asked.

There's something romantic, something that appeals to us about the outsider. We support the man who stands up against big government, big business, big religion, for what's right.

Hollywood has made a basket full of underdog movies. We all hope against hope for the underdog, especially when he's one of ours.

That does not mean, however, that any underdog, that any armed resistance to the law, is legitimate. Some underdogs are just criminals.
