Reader supports media ban

Page 5

Dear Editor:

Columnist Dan David needs a good hard kick for his paternalistic, ignorant attitude. Who the heck does he think he is? Just whose side is he on? Does he echo the sentiments of Aboriginal people across the country? Or is he merely the 'token Indian' for the media he represents?

If he is truly the Aboriginal he says he is, then I don't need to tell him of the atrocities that the media have brought on the good people of Turtle Island.

I support that chief on his request to ban the media. If more chiefs had the balls to do what should have been done earlier, than less damage could be done.

Come on Dan, give your head a shake. Get on our side. You should be with us, not against. Build bridges, not destroy them.
