the trial of duncan campbell scott


this is the posthumous trial of historical killer, d.c. scott
for his genius in coming up and enforcing the residential
school system for aboriginal people. the effects of which
are felt to this minute in me. from what i understand, he
was one of those, 'i know you little savages better than you
know yourselves, and what i'm doing for you is right' kind
of non-native administrator, which is ironic, 'cause it seems
to me a lot of people with attitudes like this still work in indian country...
various executive directors and band managers i've dealt
with come to mind....
oh well, they'll get theirs when the time is right....
