We want First Nations and these people to be like Canadians on a lot of points of view. Right now, that's not normal that they cannot have running water on reserve. We need to fix that, but it must not be imposed by Ottawa, a top-down bureaucratic decision.
The anti-war politicians who have risen to power in Washington, London, Ottawa and Brussels have never had to explain why they were offering the persecuted people of Iraq nothing that was in any way more useful to them than the shoddy, outrageously ill-planned intervention that was on offer from Blair and Bush back in 2003.
I saw my dad, my mother and all the people who were part of the party in Ottawa, and of different parties, working really hard for what they believed in.
My memory is not even what most people's is, much less what it oughta be for a discussion like this.
We've got some people who think Shariah law oughta be the law of the land, forget the Constitution. But the guns are there, the Second Amendment is there, to make sure all of the rest of the amendments are followed.
We've become a race of Peeping Toms. What people oughta do is get outside their own house and look in for a change.
Seems like everything people oughta know they just don't want to hear. I guess that's the big trouble with the world.
The plain truth is, 'Fruitvale Station' was made totally outside the Hollywood studio system, and every ounce of the picture feels authentic. The lives of the people involved in the movie will never be the same.
Ojibwe prophecy speaks of a time during the seventh fire when our people will have a choice between two paths. The first path is well-worn and scorched. The second path is new and green. It is our choice as communities and as individuals how we will proceed.
Would you go into a CD store and steal a CD? It's the same thing, people going into the computers and loggin' on and stealing our music.
I want people to get positive energy from our music.
When we've toured with Skid Row and G N' R, we probably turned a few people on to our music, but I get the feeling at one of those shows you might snag maybe 10 percent of the people out there.
We know the fans love us to death, and the people that hear out music love our music.
I just hope that our fans are people who are inspired by music, and just use our music as a background or inspiration for whatever it is they do.
It is true that if you hear our music described, it sounds unappealing. I used to laugh and agree with people when they said it didn't make any sense.
War should be the politics of last resort. And when we go to war, we should have a purpose that our people understand and support.
We have tolerance, respect, and equality in our written laws but not in the hearts of some of our people.
The trouble with our people is as soon as they got out of slavery they didn't want to give the white man nothing else. But the fact is, you got to give em something. Either your money, your land, your woman or your ass.
America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our people.
I didn't come to Hollywood. Hollywood came to me. A lot of people wish they could say the things I say. Everyone out here is so phony, it's sickening.
