Canada beleives themselves to be on the fore front of human rights and believes they are a leader within the advancement of human rights. Try to be a leader in Advancement with human rights within your own country, because all First Nations Communities have a the right to water as Canadians. Maybe we as First Nations People need to start making those commercials as seen on T.V, advocating for clean water resources, maybe then we'll be recognized.
It is far too often First Nations People suffer due to the Provincial and National leaders not recognizing our Treaties within the Act, not to mention our rights as human beings. Yeah thats right we are people too CANADA! Yet as FIRST NATIONS PEOPLE and GRASS ROOTS PEOPLE they didn't hesitate to bring us colonialization, cultural genocide(through residential schools) and now they can't even be bothered to provide us with clean water within some of our Northern Communities. Yet when a natural disaster strikes Canada is usually the first to react trying to set a presedent, for our so called international face plate of being politicaly correct and being a global leader. So what does that say to First Nations people, it says to me we are and always will be a low prioirity on the list.
We were here long before they destroyed our land, poluted our water, killed our buffalo, and built hydro dams affecting our traditioal lands water supply. Look at the pollution and negativity they caused us. Look at our losses. It is their fault our water is like this, fix it CANADA fix it! Everyone sees where the accountability lies.
But it will probably come down to OUR Chiefs OUR Leaders to do justice for us.

THIS IS OUR LAND
THIS IS OUR WATER
THIS IS OUR RIGHT

Hmmm... that's all well and good but how does it benefit you to complain about your problems on a scarcely visited website? What happened, happened. Its in the past and there is nothing you can do about it now, so instead of posting meaningless paragraphs of text go out and do something productive to solve the problem. In the time it took you to compose this message you probably could have planned a trip to visit a university where you could receive an education. Had you taken this trip and decided you liked the school, then you could have applied for entry and begun working towards a degree in engineering with a focus on freshwater resources, perhaps even achieved a master's or a doctorate. Once you received the degree, you could bring your knowledge and qualifications back to the community and use it to help improve the situation. Ah, but wait. Why am I speaking in past tense? This is still possible. So stop complaining about your situation and go out and do something about it yourself, because I hate to be the one to tell you this but the government is not going to solve your problems for you. They simply don't care.
