This is so sad. I’m really glad I watched this documentary because it really helped show just how bad the issues are. Even though it’s a little older, it’s still so sad and teaches a lot. The young man named Kim Soto. You can tell he has a lot of issues just like the others. its not his fault tho. It’s the colonial racist systematic government and society that still exists to this day. God bless these people ❤️ #decolonize

It is Blatantly Discriminatory, you cannot have a "TWO TIER JUSTICE SYSTEM"??????? where is the legislation, that states that murderers can live out their sentence in a "HEALING LODGE"??? as opposed to a PRISON, that is mentioned, in their sentence???

Isn't that what the white thieving lying colonialist created? One set of laws for the colonialists & another for the indigenous people? What price did the colonialists pay for destroying the indigenous people?-- their homes, their livelihoods, their access to food & clean water, their tribes, their communities, their culture, their language, their way of life, their identity...??? All the colonialists did is lie, manipulate, cheat, steal, exploit, abuse, torture, poison the people & the land for personal profit, murder and destroy and benefit from all of their own invented sins. BLATANT HYPOCRITES.

There has to be created legislation, that When"First Nations People Break Laws off reservation, they fall under the laws of the provincial community, and will be judged, and sentenced, and serve their sentence, at the convenience of the province offended!

Well isn't that exactly what happens? Are you another hypocrite white man that thinks we kill and do absolutely no time? I mean, it is 95% native sitting in your justice system, right?
