The Buffalo Cull: How The British Betrayed The Cree

Once the Cree and their allies dominated the western fur trade. Their people's lifeline was the Buffalo. By 1885, their decline meant disaster and starvation. Betrayed by Ottawa, who offered peace and food for land, the Cree would make a valiant last stand to save their people’s future.

As a cree person in Alberta I am sooo fascinated by this story. How did I not know this?

[@keithlightminder3005]

Not a rebellion, a resistance.

@@venia..4529 The apostle Paul taught the gospel in the city of Corinth. Many heard the word of God, and obeyed it becoming the Lord’s church in Corinth. We do not have the first epistle that Paul wrote to the church at Corinth (I Cor. 5:9), but we have the second and third which are known as First and Second Corinthians. There were a number of errors and sins within the church at Corinth which Paul addressed in those two letters. In the second letter that the apostle Paul wrote to the church at Corinth, he made a clear statement of fact about certain ones that would not ultimately have eternal life in heaven. Paul wrote, “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God” (I Cor. 6:9-10). There are probably few that would call themselves Christians that would argue with what the apostle said is fact. Those vile, corrupt, wicked unrighteous people will not be going to heaven! But, do we really believe that? Let’s consider it briefly. The question that will bring about some hesitation in standing firmly on that statement of Paul’s on the part of some is the question, Just who are the unrighteous? It may be a bit like the preacher who heard various members who were guilty of the very thing the preacher had just preached on, saying “preacher, you sure laid it on those sinners”, never realizing they were part of the very group he was addressing. So who are the unrighteous? Since Paul specified some of the unrighteous, we might as well start with some of those from that list. Paul said fornicators would not inherit the kingdom. Fornication is any illicit sexual act. Adultery is also listed. The difference between fornication and adultery is that one is specific and the other more generic, fornication being the generic one of the two. Adultery is fornication, but not all fornication is adultery. Men and women living together “as” husband and wife without actually being married are guilty of fornication. The list of specific forms of fornication would be too long to enumerate here. As just mentioned, adultery is also in Paul’s list. Since according to what Jesus said, as recorded in Matthew 19:9; “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery”, all who have divorced for reasons other than fornication on the part of their spouse, and remarried are living in adultery and thus will not inherit the kingdom of God. Do take note that this applies to the woman as well as the man (Mark 10:11-12). A couple of the terms used by Paul in his list apply to homosexuality. Fornication, effeminate and abusers of themselves with mankind, all apply to homosexuality, thus homosexuals will not inherit the kingdom of God. Needless to say, there are many who wear the name “Christian” that are guilty of these acts which Paul calls “unrighteousness”, as well as the others that Paul listed as well. Indeed, the “few there be that find it” of Matthew 7:14 may be much fewer than many think. There is no doubt whatsoever that those unrighteousness acts that Paul listed as well as the many, many more not specified in the letter that Paul wrote, will keep one from inheriting the kingdom of God. Shocking as it may sound to some who read this, God said what He meant and He meant what He said! However, shocking as it may seem to some, many who call themselves Christians need to realize that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God! Let us not close though without pointing out Paul’s words following that list. He said, “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but he are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God” (I Cor. 6:11). Just because we have been unrighteous, does not mean we must stay unrighteous.

Resisting is rebellion but okay.

[@Ghost_Party]

​@draculastraphouse6637 that's where you're wrong. If a person is resisting rape, is that a "rEbElLiOn"? By your circle-square logic it is, sure. But by logic that makes actual sense and isn't just subterfuge masquerading as reason - it definitely is not. Try harder to do better.

[@keithlightminder3005]

Okay, if Manitoba was part of Canada it would be a rebellion, but at that point in history it was not in confederation, so was RESISTing invasion.

[@SheilaTheGrate]

This is incredible. We (Canadians) should learn this in school. It tells the truth of the story and puts into perspective the amount of systemic racism is baked into our legal system. The RCMP should be dissolved and a new, modern Canadian federal agency should be created. One that reflects the diverse, just and honest federal law enforcement agency that we can all be proud of. The Mounties have way too much baggage with their treatment of First Nations and rural citizens.

[@robertsandberg2246]

I have trouble wrapping my head around how so many people can revere those pieces of crap. Fuck the RCMP.

[@keithlightminder3005]

It is literally in the curriculum at several grade levels, it’s part of the calendar in Manitoba also Louis Riel day, AND there are museums, films, plays, graphic Novels, television vignettes, books, university courses etc focussed on it. Thailand even teaches it in their schools.

Christendom and Western Civilization's imprint on the world is so dark. The legacies and remnants still withstand to this day. Particularly in non-white communities. The fetal alcohol syndrome, the unemployment, all the addictions, the mass incarceration, the poverty, and so much more. Not only were cultures and communities disintegrated and destroyed, but so too were natural ecosystems. _"Cape Malay" / "Cape Coloured"_ from Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦 #TheCapeOfStorms 🌊 #TheCapeColony ⛓️

@@venia..4529 How many are kidnapped children who have their families lives threatened if they don't allow themselves to be raped for money? Those who buy these people with souls are rapists. Women are not living fleshlights, they are made in the image of God and each and every one of you will have to give an account for every word you say, and every deed you do.
