I have found many great native families and individuals are still not part of the 'community'. It's like reaching out to shake a hand and there's a divide there wider then you expect and you cannot reach. Then you realize, you're the only one with your arm outreached. This void was dug in the past, but is being used by the future like a moat. And it won't fill in unless both sides accept what's wrong and throw that garbage in and fill it.
Celebs (especially athletes) can influence teens by adding recreational centres. Basketball and Hockey can really change communities for better. It is costly of course, but people make a crp ton of money.
Same shits happening on my hometown rez, there's a lot of junkies here in the projects and both sides of my family are unfortunately caught up in that.
I think the Adults had PTSD from the Residential schools where they were separated from parents and was beaten for showing Native Traits. This doesn't escuse them abusing their kids like they were abused as children
Opportunity with in the community. With out us poor people, the rich is nothing. Believe that! People have survived this earth thousands of years ago, before the Europe’s came. And you know how they did it? They stick together. Government causes problems.
The last chapter in any successful genocide is the one in which the oppressor can remove their hands and say, ‘My God, what are these people doing to themselves? They’re killing each other. They’re killing themselves while we watch them die.’ This is how we came to own these United States. This is the legacy of manifest destiny.” - Aaron Huey
Lol assimilated Aboriginal, we got em in Australia too and we call em coconuts, black on the outside white on the inside. Fuck the government of Canada and Australia let em assimilate into native society with values that respect all people as a community and the earth with all our feathered, furry and scaly kin. Oh and I'm educated white Kans way and our way but fun the grammar English isn't my language. Good onya sista in solidarity :)
Being full blooded Navajo & having served my country & right now living in Phoenix I always feel guilty that I should be doing more to help my people. Growing up it was mostly Chicanos & Mexicans in the apartment where my family lived & at school too so I was an outsider from the start. Even on summer vacations I would go the reservation & found out I was not like any of them. Its mostly cowboys & ranchers who half assed raised wannabe gangsters who copy what they see on TV & in movies, supposed metal heads who have never heard of Tool or can not name any actual Pantera band members, & goths & punks that paint their nails black all day & never actually forming any opinions about life or society themselves & just follow what they see. This experience taught me to be self sufficient & stand up for myself faster than most people & have an ability to get through life. When I enlisted in the military after high school I finally experienced a life outside of Arizona & it was the best time of my life. From working at the Pentagon in Arlington, VA & seeing Washington DC everday was truly a great experience & then being stationed in Okinawa, Japan fulfilled a life long nerd dream of being there & I learned so much. It was even funny to be literally the only Native that anybody from the Mid Atlantic or from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia had ever met in their lives. All I ask of my fellow Vice viewers is to please not generalize all of us in one category. From the 1/16th Cherokees to the Inuit & Comanches we are just as different & versatile as any other group of people. Thank you & hope to one day fulfill my dream of becoming the only Native American President of the United States & making a difference for America & the world :D
wow as an immigrant living in the u.s your story is so amazing sort of in a way reminds of myself.Hey if you do get in the presidental elections you got my vote!
Nothing wrong with being 'Indian'. But what troubles me is how a very select few even attempt to live like true natives. Its great to blame other people for your troubles, however, society has moved on, all over the world. Cultures die off and everyone learns from them. The power shift is in China and India right now, and they are not the same as when they last ruled the world. Get over it, grow up, and learn.
Also note, this is what years of NDP rule lead to. All those wonderful social programs, with a huge amount of people abusing the system and huge crime. Glad BC got out of it, Glad Saskatchewan got out of it. Do not vote for socialist NDP. ..ANYTHING ELSE
walperstyle you realize that First Nation issues are a federal thing, and we have had a federal Conservative government for 13 years that hasn't done a single thing to help First Nations right?
Its not a federal thing, its a personal thing. The hand out is what hurts the first nations in the first place. This is the first government in a long time that doesn't throw money at people and hope they go away. We need about another 30 years of conservative government, so the aboriginal people can keep getting jobs and be a part of the future. The whole 'colonialism' thing being alive and well today is a joke. The rest of the world has changed, so has canada, and it will several times over. We learned a great deal from the Aboriginal people of Canada. Modern Military owes a huge thanks, fishing and harvesting foods in North America, as well as learning how to fish. ...that is what we have to be thankful for. The melting pot of the world isn't going to stop to hold onto the past. Again, India and China are now getting set to be the no1 nations on the earth. They were once before, hundreds of years ago, but they are even not the same. Traditions and old ways die off because its no longer needed. 'Culture' is the in-ability to change for the future.
walperstyle "Its not a federal thing, its a personal thing. The hand out is what hurts the first nations in the first place. This is the first government in a long time that doesn't throw money at people and hope they go away." What? Didn't you watch the part where they addressed how the energy projects forced low-skilled workers into the cities which resulted in crime? The links between unemployment and criminal behaviour are well documented and accepted. Everyone agrees that crime reduction is a responsibility of government and the best way to do that is through job creation which requires education. The guy in the white shirt with a kid said he didn't KNOW enough to stop his son from going into a gang. And the other two said how there were no jobs. Of course government has a role to play, ignoring it hasn't worked and it sure as hell isn't going to fix itself. By the way, China, one of those countries you mentioned has an incredibly strong central government that enacts programs to keep people employed and grow the economy. Their banks are centrally controlled, and there are entire sectors of the economy that are centrally administered. Not regulated, administered. And now, the tar sands, where you say you work, has had its majority stack ownership bought by a Chinese State-Owned-Enterprise. You are right, the Chinese are going to win eventually and societies do fall by the way side. But the ones that win fight to win and the ones that lose are the ones who don't fight for survival. With a Conservative government Canada isn't even showing up.
There are lots of Indigenous people in Manitoba who don't get caught up in this kind of life. They get an education, they work hard and contribute hugely to our city. It is interesting to speak to these people and notice the differences between them and the "gang" people. Being Indigenous is not the common denominator.
@@takeiteasy2530 or just blame both? the indian posse is one of if not the biggest street gang in canada, even tho the percent of native citizens is 5 percent
First off, I'm an Aboriginal from Winnipeg Manitoba and I gotta say... Wow I've never seen so many ignorant & racist comments about Canada & it's Aboriginal people! I'm disappointed that people are treating this lightly, calling it nothing. Please, continue to educate & get yourselves involved in Aboriginal culture & understand what's going on in Canada with the Indian Act, Treaty Rights, social services, and reserves.
White boy from the Peg here, and I agree with you. People need to grow up and stop being racist towards Canada & Aboriginal People. Also, Aboriginals need to stop being racist toward whites too. I still often hear "Go back to europe, you land stealers!" This makes absolutely no sense, as my acestors migrated here from eastern europe WAY after the English came, plus I was born here So I have nothing to do with the past WHATSOEVER. We need to work together to find solutions to all the problems, not just point fingers at each other and blame the past.
@@sobrietyK A-ha, straight outta Manitoba, a crazy ass oji-Cree named two feathers, from the gang called natives with attitude. Takin a life or two, that what's the hell I do, with my tomahawk and bow, and my homie cripple crow.
Biggest pet peeves watching an interview; leading questions, finishing sentences for the interviewed, slanted opinions, not presenting facts and using emotional triggers to illicit specific responses, guilty on all accounts. Vice whats going on? You're letting me down. This is a huge issue in Canada and you had a chance to do it justice, none provided.
Oh, who am I? I am Apache Indian from Arizona. Raised in foster homes from 4 through 15 years of age. Eventually I wound up in an ORPHAN home. At 16 years of age I was sentenced to 30 years in prison here in Arizona. I am 51 years old now and am a free man.
I am from Canada, 60 yr old woman, product of fur trade economy. Attended 6 treatment centers grew up in a dysfunctional/alcoholic home. Today I don't have to act defensive, the past is the past. I don't have to abandon myself anymore. It is time to love, love myself so that I can love others. I wish you well in your new found freedom.
My dad, his brother's and sisters, and my grandmother were all in a residential school. For most of them they came out the other side and took life by the horns and learned the stories and traditions before they were lost forever. I'm greatful for them being so strong through it all. I hoped so much as a kid that my dad would follow they're lead, but unfortunately he delved into the booze and drugs and to this day, 28 years later he has no contact with any of his kids. I half blame him. It was not his fault what happened to him as a kid, but it is his action on how he coped with it after. He had a choice to choose, and I'll be damned if that carries on through me
I am in Regina. I am white. I went from never even hearing about gangs to being with one. As I have seen over past 15 years is there are only a few outcomes for people in gangs. I have seen/heard of all people i knew they are dead, dying or in jail. I also learned that people in gangs are not 'bad' most are doing what they saw as children. most times they raise themselves. All people want to belong and be loved. That is what I see as the major problem with the aboriginals in gangs. When the residential schools began you took kids from their families and parents. You told them all they were nothing...and everything that they know has to change. There were put with abusive priests and nuns, they were not nurtured by their parents and taught by listening and watching their grandparents and parents, they had their hair cut off..clothes taken, traditions, ceremonies everything...gone. So their parents never got to parent them...which means the children did not learn by experiencing their parents parenting. etc So you see these kids having kids but not supporting them or being around. They don't know how to do it. Some figure it out but with all they experienced these aboriginals who get into a gang..is looking for acceptance safety love guidance etc. It will take time and persistence and understanding while they heal all the generations and reteach who they are inside, what their teachings are and how important their traditions are to them
Do you see any correlation to what they did in Canada in America? The similarities are striking to say the least! Those people are just like us and the way they have been treated are basically the same. They tried to change them by getting them to denounce their beliefs and heritage which has been going on here for the longest. You cannot wash away a persons culture! that is what binds them and makes the people unique. Everyone doesnt have to look or act the same it would be boring! Damn shame I feel for them. #Struggle to Unite.
Trying to erase someones culture will never work systemically like that. It's a sad sad part of Canadian history and they never teach you it in school. It's all about how wonderful and multicultural Canada is, but racism is everywhere.
Daniel Simon you're a fucktard and a traitor to your own people. You're no different than Christians spreading blood libels in the 1500's. But we will keep veing bombed by Arab rockets for you.
English and European influence was dominated by controlling their culture or destroying it.the only way for the natives to gain control of their own destiny is to control themselves first and rise above the governmental control and manipulation.it means I have to act as a community and as their own nation and abide by the laws and then act in unison with common sense and respect for all people.you must attain knowledge and give before you can receive.
One thing I think that is the common denominator is the genocide we've had to face every day in our lives. Being forced to seek protection from one another

@@TheNb1000what did these comments say? We are Europeans have so much to complain about. We are been forcibly to become extinct, by the 3rd world been foced on us. Its happening in every EuroNation. Worldwide. Including your country.
Our native men need to start being a role model for our younger men. It saddens me our young men don’t know their identity true native men were strong warriors at one time caring for their young. Everyday you have a choice whether good or bad there are consequences. You can’t blame the past anymore every day is a new day with no mistakes. ❤
Damn this is pretty real for me. I have lived in Winnipeg nearly all my life I have been to at least half the places pictured including that parking lot in front of stoney mountain. I know lots of people are going to shout racism but when the presenter says the problem is radicalized poverty that's allowed to exist that the government needs to fix. Well isn't that already what is happening aboriginal people in Canada are entitled to a lot of finical benefits other Canadians are not, and affirmative action in student loans, housing, and hiring in government departments. So what exactly is the government supposed to be doing differently to end radicalized poverty? That's an honest question not a rhetorical one.
Firstly, indigenous people aren't entitled to many of those rights unless they live on reserve. Secondly, there is lots of evidence which shows that funding in indigenous majority areas is lower (reasoning is because indigenous live in poorer areas because of the past segregation and discrimination of them and because of district property tax playing so much into school's funding they get worse schools). Also, the intergenerational trauma caused by residential schools creates a cycle of alcohol, drug and sexual abuse which hurts all of these people who already aren't getting enough to remedy the harm. I think your question is valid and I'll give you a couple of answers. First, fix the funding for public schools. Property tax is based on how much money you have and everyone should have an equal chance at success. Secondly, the government needs to support indigenous support systems (spiritual healing and such it seems to work quite often although i am not quite familiar with the methods) such as clan mothers which will really help bring back the spirituality of those who have lost it. Finally, we need to make rehab much more accessible as people who have gone through the residential school really need it the most. I'm also from winnipeg and I honestly understand exactly what your saying about like being in like all of those places.
@@vision2677 I know some of the benefits are only available on reserves, but many are not. The affirmative action in universities colleges and government jobs is their always. As are more generous loan terms. So many benefits are available even beyond the reserve. And I agree that they should be there. But they already exist what is the government supposed to start doing? So there are supposed to be more benefits and one of those benefits is a spiritual leader who makes a government salary? That seems almost condescending as though aboriginal people would just believe a government issued spiritual leader (I know I wouldn't). Also I don't believe your statement about the schools is accurate by Canadian law a certain amount of tax revenue is given to the school district for each student they have regardless of property taxes. And that legally mandated amount per student is higher for aboriginal students. Which it ought to be as damages for the past. I completely grant that there is such a thing as a cycle of poverty but what is a government supposed to do more than this one already does? Again I think the idea of a government funded spiritual leader is not a realistic one. As to drug policy I whole heartedly agree I think we should decriminalize all drugs and recommit those funds to treatment so it can be available to anyone who wants it.
@@nicoheidenreich I think your points are very fair. I'll answer on a couple of things where we disagree. The indigenous funding gap that I highlighted was based off of a study in Ontario so my bad that may not apply to Manitoba. Secondly, with the "spiritual" part of things and indigenous healing methods it's quite clear that one of the main problems with the residential schools were they took away the culture of indigenous people. In many ways there is an argument to be said that people who are dissasociated from their culture (in turn they are disassociated from their society). This creates alienation within these communities which makes people who all feel shut out of society come together and form gangs (we may disagree on this mechanism). So for a proper reconciliation to occur and for us to stop these gangs from popping up is to redirect back to the culture which they lost and makes them feel alienated. Also, the three things I gave were three different problems the government could solve individually and would be able to create loads of difference.
Met 2 guys from a gang similar on main and Selkirk late at night on Halloween , they had face tats and wearing all black with bandanas did not look friendly. Me and a few buddys dressed up in costumes made our way to the bank across the street from the social hall we were attending. These 2 guys approached us before we got to the bank and confronted us but they actually just asked for some information on the time and ended up being really cool dudes we all had a smoke and took a few pics and they were on their way ! Don’t judge a book by its cover we are all human ! A lot of people might be caught up in stuff at the wrong time and a lot of bad people are out there but I mean everyone has a sense of humour and can be idled out of tense situations if handled appropriately
Yes, when you consider the history of every nation and their pasts, Canada is definitely one of the worst right? When you consider places on this planet to live RIGHT NOW, Canada is definitely one of the worst right? LOLLLLLLL
Native issues in Canada are too complex for 90% of the keyboard warriors to understand. I remember going to elementary school in the 70's with res kids who where bused in on Monday morning, stayed with a city family, then on Friday after school they went back to the res. They got their ass kicked in the city for being res kids and on the res for being apples. They have indentured poverty, racism, alcoholism, rape, incest, drug abuse, self esteem issues on top of that they have had their identities and culture forcefully taken from them in their own country. We also have a huge system that encourages helplessness in their community rather then give them the tools of empowerment and betterment. The only solution is going to be an expensive one that's really going to require a huge amount of input from positive members of the community to become high profile for the right reasons and Education, education, education. The natives don't have an Oprah, Colin Powell, Barrack Obama, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Booker T Washington, or a Martin Luther King. Jr. When they start to produce leaders who are scholars, politicians and leaders of industry who'll push for the positive changes needed in their community you'll start to see a slow change in the community.
they have tools to survive. its just that nature has been ruined and their tools don't work with this unnatural setting made by white colonization. hunting and gathering needs the land to be open and free, which sadly it's a prison planet. i get nauseous seeing those lost brothers wearing white, black clothing on their own will.but I'm speaking to the choir,so the saying goes. thanks for the support
Barack Obama is a piece of shit. I agree with you on all else. I encourage you to watch the documentary, "Incident at Oglala" and the movie, "Thunderheart". I believe the documentary is still on Netflix.
I'm not debating wether Obama is a piece of shit. I'm saying he's proof that a black man in the US can achieve anything. The native community has no one of that caliber.
Not really considering how “warriors” is an English word, and they called themselves something completely different, which contained more meaning within their own culture.
As an indigenous man myself. This really saddens me. I remember growing up that I use to admire older kids who were a gang like and hood like players because they had lots of friends and girls always talked to them. Grown up now and more matured. I realize this kind of lifestyle is truly pathetic and I despise these gang members parents for putting their own kids n this gang life.
@@morrisonandrew2521 Sorry, but I don’t drink alcohol or have any kids. I actually made decent decisions in life and I’m happy about it. Also, my cats eat good so if I did have kids, they’d be well taken care of, hillbilly.
That’s what happens when roaming bison was replaced with money. No source, no tradition. Money and other valuable means replaced everything and became a new tradition. A blessing and also curse. It’s just the way it is. When people talk about honour, come on. It’s just a word that has no meaning today, because no one has honour. The only thing people honour is things of value. Some one steals a car, or breaks into a home a take things of value. That person who was victimized by theft never forgets who stole their valuables. Compared to a best friend who died, or that person who was shot, and they are completely forgotten until they see a picture of that person.
I'm maori I found sticking to my tride and customs kept me from wanting to be in a gang. My brother's on the other hand love the gang they are in. We grew up around that because of our father. I stuck to my grandparents, because gang life disgusted me. My grandparents were strict. It was good. I learnt more off them than my parents.
@@synpathetic1828 can be a really hard decision to make being away from gangs... thanks to colonisation intergenerational trauma continues to displace whanau to the point they have no sense of belonging. Remove the obstacles that continue ongoing racism so we have more sovereignty in our decision making things will change. Our cultures are extremely healing and an anchor in hard times. Being allowed to practice it is the biggest obstacle. Really heartbreaking to hear a rangatahi say gang life will never end.
@@Geenine44 Polynesia is known for the most effective and savage of wooden tools of war. Polynesia is RIPE with genocide against each other, for the passed millennia. Mainland American natives have the same exact history. Look out west where American natives starved out each other. Ute used the American reservation system to massacre the Navajo, into the 20th century.
I grew up on the East side of Winnipeg (Particularly Elmwood) and can say, despite all the jokes of the disabled dude in this video, these Native gangs made my life a living hell. They're ruthless, mostly fearless and carry a lot of hate in their hearts which is what makes them so violent. These are the type of gangs that'll beat you to a pulp while waiting at a bus stop with absolutely no remorse. I don't think every Native person from Winnipeg is like this but, you definitely have to watch your back when walking around the city at night.
I am born and raised in Winnipeg. 31. Filipino. I've known alot of Aboriginals in my lifetime. My aunt is married to a real nice ojibway man. My sister is married to an awesome metis guy. My sister in law also has some Aboriginal decent in her. I've had awesome Aboriginal friends throughout my life. I meet awesome aboriginal people everyday! I remember in elementary I had classmates who were cousins. They definitely had a rough upbringing (they talked about it all the time). They Struggled in school but had great hearts. One time I was being bullied and someone wanted to fight me and I remember those two just sticking up for me making sure I didn't get hurt. I will never forget that. I also worked in a foster home. And these kids who have had a rough life are trying to make a difference in their own lives and for others. I have also seen the other side. Those who make a bad name for themselves. I'm kind of on the fence. I can't truly understand all that they go through, but I do believe they can make a difference personally. My boss is a great example. He used to be a big time gangster. And he turned his life around after realizing enough is enough. Outlook and attitude can do alot for someone. There are many things I enjoy about Aboriginal people. Their spirituality, food, hospitality, creativity. Sometimes just saying a greetng in cree or ojibway can just open a never ending conversation. I've had nothing but respect from the different Aboriginal people's (different tribes/cultures/class) but then again I try to treat everybody with respect.
Napoleon del Rosario exactly! It's how they were raised! Every individual has chances to turn their life around and do the right thing! Choices choices choices!
I was raised by my dad only on the CCT Rez.And alcohol and drugs in my life constantly.But my dad taught me respect and empathy .So I try to treat everybody that doesn't throw hate and ignorance at me as I would like to be treated.Sadly I lost the only parent I had to Liverl failure cirrhosis .But he's still with me in the teachings he passed on to me.
I honestly never dare to enter the North End lmao. As soon as I cross that bridge, I'm in uncharted territory (I don't have business there anyways). I'm very thankful to my parents for sacrificing a good chunk of their life to give me a good childhood though. I too am indigenous and am currently going to my 2nd year in university while being a teacher intern for a classroom (enjoyed it very much!).
As 1st generation Italian American this hits home not in the native sense but in the sense of being raised in a culture that glorifies crime and that way of thinking and trying to find a away out of it was extremely hard a young man I struggled daily with the temptation of giving up work at a 9to5 job making 200a week when cousins of mine that were younger are driving BMWs and wearing Gucci shoes and telling to quit my job and come with them
Most young people driving beamers abs wasting their money on designer clothes are living beyond their means. They do not have the money to sustain that
How could it be that the whole culture glorifies crime...? There are/were anti-Mafia activists in Italia. Congratulations on rejecting the BMW Gucci life ...... ..... it's all/mostly materialistic garbage. A neighbor of mine in the U.S. is full-blooded Italian. His son, a truck driver, gets annoyed with him. The son says, "I go to work, and I pay my bills.
@LandBackDay Sept-30 This online "Karen" trend may've gone too far. My comment was referring to Italy, with all due respect, and in my humble opinion, much = due....
As a Native American this is so heartbreaking to watch...It brought me to tears.Sad that there isn't a better way or some kind of positive hope for these young ones.
One of her last comments on the video was "unless the Government does something about it. . .". Stop relying on the Government to fix anything...they largely screwed it up in the first place!!!
lol the aboriginals are legit maybe alot of talk but they do back what they say most. but hells angels still is king in this country even with mom bouchier out of the gang. it deffinately calmed down after his life sentance but they were killin kids woman car bombs montreal was war zone and i was there during the 90s dicarie district lol

As someone living in Winnipeg pretty much every single Native person I've met has been good-humored, intelligent, and friendly. I've honestly never run into any of the types that showed up in this video. It's pretty shitty that the minority casts a shadow on the rest of the community.
Really? cause most of the time its the bad i run into, Used to work in portage place mall and probably got jumped about 5 times while i was working there and it was all by aboriginal.
Sadly due to the poverty they live in, the racism they experienced and the trauma passed down to each generation has created these statistics. As someone who is Métis, violence is acted out by indigenous a lot more. Simply cuz they live in worse conditions and have been subjected to trauma, with many parents resorting to drug abuse which leads to birth defects and anger issues with youth. Walking in downtown Winnipeg is dangerous. Countless times I’ve been approached, harassed and threatened. My fathers been jumped multiple times on his way to work. My mother had a man piss on her at a bus stop then punch an old lady in the face. My brother and I have had rocks thrown at our car. But this isn’t because their indigenous, that I wanna make clear. If it were white people in their shoes the violence would be of the same level. It’s all because they are a product of poverty. It’s like that around the world. Nothing to do with their skin colour. Most indigenous people outside of poverty are the nicest people you met. Just like how Mexican , Asian, or white people outside of poverty are nice. The simple answer is poverty. So unless you’ve lived in poverty you’re statement makes sense. And until people start viewing indigenous the way you described this will never end. Because these people are human, they just had all the odds against them for so long that many don’t know what to do with their lives or how to regulate their emotion/actions. Poverty is passed down to each generation and until that ends I sadly don’t see an end to this.
@@Billybob-bl9fo hmm maybe theres a common factor. You wanna blame it on race because you are racist. Like it or not you are. Try working somewhere else.
@@matt.dufault9966 I agree. You put it a lot more eloquently than me. I'm more than familiar with the negative stereotypes and I've mostly avoided them just because I've lived outside of it most of my life. Poverty and the way our government has 'handled' things has turned our history into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Reading a lot of the posts on here is just disgusting and down right disrespectful, so many evil minded ppl it's crazy, most comments make me sick to my stomach. The creator don't want any of us being bad minded or hateful bottom line! Rather u call it god, allah, budda, jesus.

And anyone who wants to argue and say ignorant things because I'm a proud onkwehon:we woman by all means but I won't reply because it's not a debate this is my personal way of life and thinking.
I live in Canada n been called it all, as much as I want to say horrible things I don't because I would be no better then the bad minded ppl I'm speaking about, all u can do ask the creator to help their minds n hearts.
When u beat a people in the ground, strip them of their cultural heritage, deny them rights, kick them off their land; it is no surprise that many end up disparaged and destitute. love all the comments on here b/c I am pretty sure they r coming from white middle class who have not had such struggles. Ever hear of walk a mile in someone else's shoes? Sometimes it is impossible when their shoes were taken a long time ago. I grew up with Native Americans and watched this first hand. You put people at the bottom and this will eventually happen. Unsure? Look at the prison population in the US. 80% Blacks and Hispanics, which coincidentally, tend to be at the bottom of the social and financial class as a result of hundreds of years of racial discrimination.
How does the system f you over. They litarally devote billions of dollars to help aboriginal people, and they still find a way to wast it. That money should be spent to support new immigrants. Hard working people that made our country. Not lazy natives.
Owen Major When the government takes your kids for no reason kills your water, profiles you as suspicious because of your skin culture, most of all calls us lazy because we are isolated from our own country's population without jobs. These things happen in our modern times i can think of all the above from this year alone. So they have noone to fight they rebel against the system that caused it.
jebidi117 Youre complaining about people calling you lazy? Ohhh NOO lets go kill some people cause someone called us lazy? Seriously? Government taking kids was years ago.

my mother was in residential school from age 7 - 17 and she doesnt talk about it, but she was affected, she definitly over achieves, was always at work, school.... later turned to drugs and alcohol, my relationship with her is strained to say the least, i know she loves me but she just cant say it for some reason, i turned to drugs and alcohol, and turned to the ganglife in my youth, she got help, and then got me help, Today i own a house have a small family, my mother bought a house down the street from me. Its not perfect but its better than what it used to be.
No excuses! Im native and i grew up in the most ghettos of two cities! YOU ARE NOT A CONDITION OF YOUR ENVIONMENT!!! Im still true to my roots! Native Pride Worldwide!!!
@@synpathetic1828 You're confusing, if you truly grew up in the conditions where people fall to gangs then you would at least have a fundamental understanding of WHY they fell to a gang. Calling gang members inexcusable is creating a barrier between you and our people who fell to a harsher form of life which only makes you seem ignorant, not proud. You're not going to solve an issue by dismissing the issue before you made an attempt to sympathize with it.
When I listen to last person talking I feel sick for our son is missing for over a yr. Killed by gang members body not found yet. The pain they caused our family is terrible. We grieve every day for our son Shawn. All we can say may God have mercy on you all for he knows everything you do in secret.
Know your history, speak your language, participate in your culture, grow your locks and you will always know where you belong... with your tribe, your people need you.
@Not My last name so our life is not normal? Well normal is only what you normally experience... so what's normal? I love the way I was raised up. Yes I come from a reservation. Yes I participate in my ways... yes I have a job...yes i have a family. Sooo what's normal to you and me are different. There's a mission NDN....then there's a free NDN.
@Not My last name You make a great point because the people in Europe used to belong to tribes now look at them got a whole new set of identity, culture, values...it was removed forcefully from them like the natives here in the Americas. Sure they can do whatever they or you like....but to be native is to live it, know it, participate in it. So that those ways and knowledge get passed on to the next generation. If your not interested in doing that then your doing your thing and that's how groups die off. To call themselves native but dont want no part of it....sure ok I guess. But their not in belief or practice....soo are they really?.... ill tell you who we all are...we are conscious with infinite awareness having an experience here on this earth.... the key point here is all races of color beliefs creeds come from this same consciousness. Remember who/we are is the point here
@Not My last name native is the term today. But indigenous people of the land is more like it... dont get caught up in the word play... we indigenous people are all the same human beings....the people as we call it. You are what you do.... make of it what you will...but know your history that way you wont get fooled again
i see and took a similar to people in latin america.. u see them and they see gangs as a way out bc of poverty ... and u see it’s only happening to brown indigenous and african diaspora people. it is so sad. i will never forgive those who has made it to this .
My grandmother went to residential school and her first husband was an extremely violent man. My grandmother never abused or abandoned her children. She left when her kids were under 12 years old and moved as far away as she could and started her life over. Divorced and remarried. To anyone living in the nightmare of abuse, leave and stop the cycle. You deserve better and so do your kids. You are worth it. God bless you.
Something about interviewing people in poverty, while wearing a Burberry shirt & Supreme hat, seems weird to me. Not to mention a scarf long enough to make 5.
You sound like a real racist and a judgemental person. How would you like to be poor? You are probably living off your parents and don’t have to left your ass to work. Don’t judge people’s appearance , look in the mirror and look at your face. A face of a person that is full of anger and so mighty high. I’m so sick of people like you judging and making fun of the poor.
I did some time yes, and walked out because: 1. Never got ANY ink done, would rather chew my arm and call it art. 2. Was very, very respectful, even if disrespected, quietly apologized and split. 3. NEVER, NEVER EVER JOINED ANY GANGS.
Living in Winnipeg almost all my life and north end specifically over the last few years, as well as being in foster care I got first hand experience of seeing the people who I lived with associate and be in gangs, it was a shock because those were people I cared about, but I very quickly realized that they were really just needing a family and that’s what they’ve been involved with. I am white so I cannot speak for them but despite me not associating with gangs if I meet someone and befriend someone in a gang I will still treat them as human. This video is old but it still rings true, Winnipeg despite being an incredibly diverse city is rooted in racism and biased, things need to change.
it's gonna be a long time before the cycle is broken on a larger scale my friend, as a fellow north ender I send you love. This city is beautiful and RICH with culture, if only the systemic issues could be resolved :(
I’m from the west end/st James area, but I commute to elmwood for work, at a warehouse near elmwood school. It may not be the north end, but it’s still pretty bad, and it’s heartbreaking to walk around the area during school hours and see how many kids are ditching, and how adults, especially teachers, have given up on indigenous kids from such a young age. If you’re an impressionable child surrounded by gangs who’ll promise you money and a sense of belonging, while basically being taught that there’s no point in trying to gain an education and leave the ghetto, of course you’ll choose the more realistic option! I know someone who taught at that school, and they said that 90% of the middle schoolers there have already given up hope. The solution to all of this may not be straightforward, but the system we have now is only furthering our cycle of pain and suffering, and I don’t get how they don’t see that all of this will only ever continue to get worse without change.
They are great people with a great culture, beautiful beliefs and amazing strength, like all cultures they have their downfalls and deal with addiction
Wow. I appreciate this video.im Native American but was taught by my grandmother we make our future.Never blame your past if you didn't like the way you were raised.Then break the cycle and make the change.Stay Native.
Sounds to me like your grandmother was very intelligent! Like you said there is no growth when continuing to blame what some, not all, "white men" and the past government did in 1840, then punishing all the future generations and all Canadians, including those who fought for Native rights and freedoms and equality and made change happen, along with their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren etc etc and everyone else that carries white skin, and/or lives in or has the nerve to be born in Canada, still to this very day in almost 2020. I guess I'm trying to find the reasoning behind why people think the best way to grow, make change in the world, and to show/instilling in people that its horrible, wrong, and completely inhumane, to punish/hurt/condemn others, as the natives were, just because of the color of their skin and/or because of where they happen to be born or happen to live, is to punish every and all innocent (non involved) future generations because the color of their skin and/or because of where they happen to be born or happen to live??!! 🤷♀️ 🤔 🤦♀️
I'm from Ontario, grew up the same way bein' from the 90's. and even though i spent most of my younger days in childcare care homes, foster homes, or at a family shelter... i never joined a gang.. I grew up the same exact way man, and when these little gangsters would ask me.. "wanna join my gang!?" ... "join our gang man".. I never, ever... EVER! joined any fkn gangsters.. I raised my younger siblings, I worked what i could, did what I could, my mother was a heavy alcoholic, and left to Thunder Bay so I can look after my younger siblings at the age of 14... not even a week, child services took my younger siblings but not me, cause i was already long gone.. i went to a store to get some food and shit.. I was nearly home when I saw a bunch of vehicles parked outside my place, and saw my siblings gettin into those vehicles, i waited for awhile . everyone was gone after 20 mins, I went into my home, and saw that there was no one, every one had gone... I didn't need anyone but me.... I let every one go, and let my mother run, I never saw her for 5 yrs... when i did, we spent 5 yrs together before she passed.... just... I never joined any gangs ...didn't need em, never did never will.
The most dangerous place is Thompson so much killings, missing people, and drugs there.(edit) I've never called Winnipeg murderpeg nor have i heard anyone else say that
I don't understand the situation at all. There is a law right? Selling drugs, wearing a knife or gun are against the law. So enforce the law, police men. Seems like the only problem here is police. Put all of them with their faces to the ground. No rights to criminals. Why somebody should lose a car just because of some child decided to play a gangsta. They are gangs only because of nobody enforces the law. Like in Russia. Nobody cares about your rights or how you live in poverty. If some top dog says to the police go there and get rid of a gang, Russian police will wipe those gangsters out. That's it.
these comments irritate me. it sounds like “aboriginals” are a different breed of human “I met a very nice native family once who are actually nice, humble and pleasant” that’s very back handed and discouraging. as a child, i used to be so ashamed to be INDIGENOUS but now I know that all these stereotypes and even this video is the result of the cultural genocide and intergenerational trauma that is being passed down and especially the government not caring and continuing to hold empty promises. im grateful my family broke this detrimental cycle however, the lack of resources and respect towards indigenous peoples is disgusting nonetheless. it’s really not that hard to educate yourselves on these topics to learn why our society holds these views and continues to try and diminish our values simply based on crime. could literally go on about the correlation between poverty and crime and how those go hand on hand but the internet is free.
I’m kinda ashamed of my family mostly being in a gang, it makes me sad that people look at me with a weird look and saying to people “You should stay away from her, or her family will beat you down.” It hurts me. -From an Oji Cree person
It is not your fault just continue to be yourself. Learn to figure your self worth because you deserve better. Build up your self-esteem and love you. Giving others respect goes a long way and when you show others respect you will find people respond to you. Best regards.
@@almabelhumeur6672 the most nicest thinb i read on UA-cam today...thankyou for being kind and encouraging this random stranger..just feel sad with so many nasty comments on here
My family treated me badly because they knew they couldn't trust me to keep their secrets, at least that is what I think. The other part of it is they were hoping I would join in. In the end, they simply took advantage of me as much as possible while at the same time treating me badly to keep me down. I don't think that would have happened if they were native gangs, instead of Russian mob. But my indigenous grandmother, who I only met once as an adult, confided her truth to me, that she was adopted into a white family and put into prostitution. i will say it again, CAPITALISM is the problem. Bring the working class to power and we will all be looked after, fairly. Stay strong, Sister.
what u expect, the mayors that run these cities care about using all that money to have 10 different colored lambos and expensive things, they never use that money to create more shopping plazas with job growth, this is what happens
How many of these documentaries can be produced. One is exactly the same as the last one. Doesn't it seem strange that they never focus on a positive message. Instead they just push the same propaganda decade after decade.
But we’re not all alcoholics, gang members, druged. There’s natives that provide and take care of their home and land. There’s violence everywhere, not just a specific race all races are the same.
big respect for the man talking about his experiences in the gang life, you can clearly tell he's uncomfortable, yet he's still giving some insight and helping further education on why there are so many kids committing crimes. i just cant understand the racist comments on this vid, and ignorance to the issues, and history, that clearly cause the 'mass' gang affiliation within these communities.
Iam all for history and culture and health care . BUT its time to contribute to society and help pay the frieght. Time for free houseing and payouts is about welfare . Time to catch the bus and go work, its called back bone and PRIDE catch the wave
Very well done, Vice. This is quite informative. I definitely see some similarities between these Native American communities and the struggles of various Black communities in America. Certainly makes me wonder if similar circumstances created what we see going on in both communities.
I know it's been it 8 years but I'll give my experience being ingenious in Canada. We are treated like 2nd class citizens by mostly white people in cities across Canada. Canadians are still extremely racist to indigenous people. Constantly being belittled in our own land so obviously some indigenous people will be angry.
HF theres alot of racist comments 😂 anyway, don't misunderstand.. there are more good indigenous people out here, the elders are always the wisest people!
@@NEECHEE no because we already go to school and we have jobs. Crime is only a small part of our society. Crime is a huge part of first nations society
Not all of us natives are like this. Some of us actually work and take care of our family's without violence

@@optimisticdaze Your full of shit
This is true but the point of the news piece is to look at the other side. Many many native families are amazing, warm hearted parts of the community!
I have found many great native families and individuals are still not part of the 'community'. It's like reaching out to shake a hand and there's a divide there wider then you expect and you cannot reach. Then you realize, you're the only one with your arm outreached. This void was dug in the past, but is being used by the future like a moat. And it won't fill in unless both sides accept what's wrong and throw that garbage in and fill it.
It's sad to see the lack of gov't support for the native population.

Celebs (especially athletes) can influence teens by adding recreational centres. Basketball and Hockey can really change communities for better. It is costly of course, but people make a crp ton of money.
The youth needs role models..but it’s hard when the adults are doing drugs and not caring and setting good examples.
Same shits happening on my hometown rez, there's a lot of junkies here in the projects and both sides of my family are unfortunately caught up in that.
I think the Adults had PTSD from the Residential schools where they were separated from parents and was beaten for showing Native Traits.
This doesn't escuse them abusing their kids like they were abused as children
exactly.... it also doesnt help when there is no opportunity in the lower income areas..... your gonna do what you have to in order to survive...
Opportunity with in the community. With out us poor people, the rich is nothing. Believe that! People have survived this earth thousands of years ago, before the Europe’s came. And you know how they did it? They stick together. Government causes problems.
it’s not the adults fault tho. it all stems from the cultural oppression and abuse from the residential schools
Gang life aint no warrior life
The last chapter in any successful genocide is the one in which the oppressor can remove their hands and say, ‘My God, what are these people doing to themselves? They’re killing each other. They’re killing themselves while we watch them die.’ This is how we came to own these United States. This is the legacy of manifest destiny.” - Aaron Huey
lol if you don't understand I don't feel like i have to explain it.hahaha
Yeah I was raised in the City and I pay taxes just like everyone else. I know who I am and my history. You should look and read on the Indian Act.

Oh and I'm educated white Kans way and our way but fun the grammar English isn't my language. Good onya sista in solidarity :)
Being full blooded Navajo & having served my country & right now living in Phoenix I always feel guilty that I should be doing more to help my people. Growing up it was mostly Chicanos & Mexicans in the apartment where my family lived & at school too so I was an outsider from the start. Even on summer vacations I would go the reservation & found out I was not like any of them. Its mostly cowboys & ranchers who half assed raised wannabe gangsters who copy what they see on TV & in movies, supposed metal heads who have never heard of Tool or can not name any actual Pantera band members, & goths & punks that paint their nails black all day & never actually forming any opinions about life or society themselves & just follow what they see. This experience taught me to be self sufficient & stand up for myself faster than most people & have an ability to get through life. When I enlisted in the military after high school I finally experienced a life outside of Arizona & it was the best time of my life. From working at the Pentagon in Arlington, VA & seeing Washington DC everday was truly a great experience & then being stationed in Okinawa, Japan fulfilled a life long nerd dream of being there & I learned so much. It was even funny to be literally the only Native that anybody from the Mid Atlantic or from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia & Indonesia had ever met in their lives. All I ask of my fellow Vice viewers is to please not generalize all of us in one category. From the 1/16th Cherokees to the Inuit & Comanches we are just as different & versatile as any other group of people. Thank you & hope to one day fulfill my dream of becoming the only Native American President of the United States & making a difference for America & the world :D
wow as an immigrant living in the u.s your story is so amazing sort of in a way reminds of myself.Hey if you do get in the presidental elections you got my vote!
It's sad to see this vicious cycle of poverty of crime continue no matter what country it is.
Nothing wrong with being 'Indian'. But what troubles me is how a very select few even attempt to live like true natives. Its great to blame other people for your troubles, however, society has moved on, all over the world. Cultures die off and everyone learns from them. The power shift is in China and India right now, and they are not the same as when they last ruled the world. Get over it, grow up, and learn.
Also note, this is what years of NDP rule lead to. All those wonderful social programs, with a huge amount of people abusing the system and huge crime. Glad BC got out of it, Glad Saskatchewan got out of it. Do not vote for socialist NDP. ..ANYTHING ELSE
walperstyle If anyone wants to leave Winnipeg and get paid good money you can come to Alberta. Message me. I don't care your background.
walperstyle you realize that First Nation issues are a federal thing, and we have had a federal Conservative government for 13 years that hasn't done a single thing to help First Nations right?
Its not a federal thing, its a personal thing. The hand out is what hurts the first nations in the first place. This is the first government in a long time that doesn't throw money at people and hope they go away. We need about another 30 years of conservative government, so the aboriginal people can keep getting jobs and be a part of the future. The whole 'colonialism' thing being alive and well today is a joke. The rest of the world has changed, so has canada, and it will several times over.
We learned a great deal from the Aboriginal people of Canada. Modern Military owes a huge thanks, fishing and harvesting foods in North America, as well as learning how to fish. ...that is what we have to be thankful for.
The melting pot of the world isn't going to stop to hold onto the past. Again, India and China are now getting set to be the no1 nations on the earth. They were once before, hundreds of years ago, but they are even not the same. Traditions and old ways die off because its no longer needed. 'Culture' is the in-ability to change for the future.
walperstyle "Its not a federal thing, its a personal thing. The hand out is what hurts the first nations in the first place. This is the first government in a long time that doesn't throw money at people and hope they go away."
What? Didn't you watch the part where they addressed how the energy projects forced low-skilled workers into the cities which resulted in crime? The links between unemployment and criminal behaviour are well documented and accepted. Everyone agrees that crime reduction is a responsibility of government and the best way to do that is through job creation which requires education. The guy in the white shirt with a kid said he didn't KNOW enough to stop his son from going into a gang. And the other two said how there were no jobs. Of course government has a role to play, ignoring it hasn't worked and it sure as hell isn't going to fix itself.
By the way, China, one of those countries you mentioned has an incredibly strong central government that enacts programs to keep people employed and grow the economy. Their banks are centrally controlled, and there are entire sectors of the economy that are centrally administered. Not regulated, administered. And now, the tar sands, where you say you work, has had its majority stack ownership bought by a Chinese State-Owned-Enterprise.
You are right, the Chinese are going to win eventually and societies do fall by the way side. But the ones that win fight to win and the ones that lose are the ones who don't fight for survival. With a Conservative government Canada isn't even showing up.
There are lots of Indigenous people in Manitoba who don't get caught up in this kind of life. They get an education, they work hard and contribute hugely to our city. It is interesting to speak to these people and notice the differences between them and the "gang" people. Being Indigenous is not the common denominator.
Same over here on the Ontario border. Lot's of educated tribal memeber.

I'm disappointed that people are treating this lightly, calling it nothing.
Please, continue to educate & get yourselves involved in Aboriginal culture & understand what's going on in Canada with the Indian Act, Treaty Rights, social services, and reserves.
White boy from the Peg here, and I agree with you. People need to grow up and stop being racist towards Canada & Aboriginal People.
Also, Aboriginals need to stop being racist toward whites too. I still often hear "Go back to europe, you land stealers!" This makes absolutely no sense, as my acestors migrated here from eastern europe WAY after the English came, plus I was born here So I have nothing to do with the past WHATSOEVER.
We need to work together to find solutions to all the problems, not just point fingers at each other and blame the past.

As a citizen of Winnipeg, it sucks living here. :( I'm never aloud to stay out too late or go out alone.
My dad, his brother's and sisters, and my grandmother were all in a residential school. For most of them they came out the other side and took life by the horns and learned the stories and traditions before they were lost forever. I'm greatful for them being so strong through it all. I hoped so much as a kid that my dad would follow they're lead, but unfortunately he delved into the booze and drugs and to this day, 28 years later he has no contact with any of his kids. I half blame him. It was not his fault what happened to him as a kid, but it is his action on how he coped with it after. He had a choice to choose, and I'll be damned if that carries on through me
I am in Regina. I am white. I went from never even hearing about gangs to being with one. As I have seen over past 15 years is there are only a few outcomes for people in gangs. I have seen/heard of all people i knew they are dead, dying or in jail. I also learned that people in gangs are not 'bad' most are doing what they saw as children. most times they raise themselves. All people want to belong and be loved. That is what I see as the major problem with the aboriginals in gangs.
When the residential schools began you took kids from their families and parents. You told them all they were nothing...and everything that they know has to change. There were put with abusive priests and nuns, they were not nurtured by their parents and taught by listening and watching their grandparents and parents, they had their hair cut off..clothes taken, traditions, ceremonies everything...gone. So their parents never got to parent them...which means the children did not learn by experiencing their parents parenting. etc
So you see these kids having kids but not supporting them or being around. They don't know how to do it. Some figure it out but with all they experienced these aboriginals who get into a gang..is looking for acceptance safety love guidance etc. It will take time and persistence and understanding while they heal all the generations and reteach who they are inside, what their teachings are and how important their traditions are to them
Do you see any correlation to what they did in Canada in America? The similarities are striking to say the least! Those people are just like us and the way they have been treated are basically the same. They tried to change them by getting them to denounce their beliefs and heritage which has been going on here for the longest. You cannot wash away a persons culture! that is what binds them and makes the people unique. Everyone doesnt have to look or act the same it would be boring! Damn shame I feel for them. #Struggle to Unite.
Trying to erase someones culture will never work systemically like that. It's a sad sad part of Canadian history and they never teach you it in school. It's all about how wonderful and multicultural Canada is, but racism is everywhere.
Daniel Simon you're a fucktard and a traitor to your own people. You're no different than Christians spreading blood libels in the 1500's. But we will keep veing bombed by Arab rockets for you.
English and European influence was dominated by controlling their culture or destroying it.the only way for the natives to gain control of their own destiny is to control themselves first and rise above the governmental control and manipulation.it means I have to act as a community and as their own nation and abide by the laws and then act in unison with common sense and respect for all people.you must attain knowledge and give before you can receive.

I know lots of people are going to shout racism but when the presenter says the problem is radicalized poverty that's allowed to exist that the government needs to fix. Well isn't that already what is happening aboriginal people in Canada are entitled to a lot of finical benefits other Canadians are not, and affirmative action in student loans, housing, and hiring in government departments. So what exactly is the government supposed to be doing differently to end radicalized poverty? That's an honest question not a rhetorical one.
Firstly, indigenous people aren't entitled to many of those rights unless they live on reserve. Secondly, there is lots of evidence which shows that funding in indigenous majority areas is lower (reasoning is because indigenous live in poorer areas because of the past segregation and discrimination of them and because of district property tax playing so much into school's funding they get worse schools). Also, the intergenerational trauma caused by residential schools creates a cycle of alcohol, drug and sexual abuse which hurts all of these people who already aren't getting enough to remedy the harm. I think your question is valid and I'll give you a couple of answers. First, fix the funding for public schools. Property tax is based on how much money you have and everyone should have an equal chance at success. Secondly, the government needs to support indigenous support systems (spiritual healing and such it seems to work quite often although i am not quite familiar with the methods) such as clan mothers which will really help bring back the spirituality of those who have lost it. Finally, we need to make rehab much more accessible as people who have gone through the residential school really need it the most. I'm also from winnipeg and I honestly understand exactly what your saying about like being in like all of those places.
@@vision2677 I know some of the benefits are only available on reserves, but many are not. The affirmative action in universities colleges and government jobs is their always. As are more generous loan terms. So many benefits are available even beyond the reserve. And I agree that they should be there. But they already exist what is the government supposed to start doing? So there are supposed to be more benefits and one of those benefits is a spiritual leader who makes a government salary? That seems almost condescending as though aboriginal people would just believe a government issued spiritual leader (I know I wouldn't). Also I don't believe your statement about the schools is accurate by Canadian law a certain amount of tax revenue is given to the school district for each student they have regardless of property taxes. And that legally mandated amount per student is higher for aboriginal students. Which it ought to be as damages for the past. I completely grant that there is such a thing as a cycle of poverty but what is a government supposed to do more than this one already does? Again I think the idea of a government funded spiritual leader is not a realistic one. As to drug policy I whole heartedly agree I think we should decriminalize all drugs and recommit those funds to treatment so it can be available to anyone who wants it.
@@nicoheidenreich I think your points are very fair. I'll answer on a couple of things where we disagree. The indigenous funding gap that I highlighted was based off of a study in Ontario so my bad that may not apply to Manitoba. Secondly, with the "spiritual" part of things and indigenous healing methods it's quite clear that one of the main problems with the residential schools were they took away the culture of indigenous people. In many ways there is an argument to be said that people who are dissasociated from their culture (in turn they are disassociated from their society). This creates alienation within these communities which makes people who all feel shut out of society come together and form gangs (we may disagree on this mechanism). So for a proper reconciliation to occur and for us to stop these gangs from popping up is to redirect back to the culture which they lost and makes them feel alienated. Also, the three things I gave were three different problems the government could solve individually and would be able to create loads of difference.
Met 2 guys from a gang similar on main and Selkirk late at night on Halloween , they had face tats and wearing all black with bandanas did not look friendly. Me and a few buddys dressed up in costumes made our way to the bank across the street from the social hall we were attending. These 2 guys approached us before we got to the bank and confronted us but they actually just asked for some information on the time and ended up being really cool dudes we all had a smoke and took a few pics and they were on their way ! Don’t judge a book by its cover we are all human ! A lot of people might be caught up in stuff at the wrong time and a lot of bad people are out there but I mean everyone has a sense of humour and can be idled out of tense situations if handled appropriately

The way Canadian original people were treated is the same way original people in America were treated to strip them of their culture and identity.
I'm white and born in Canada and I must say our past makes me ashamed to be Canadian. Especially seeing how ignorant a lot of Canadian are.

Native issues in Canada are too complex for 90% of the keyboard warriors to understand.
I remember going to elementary school in the 70's with res kids who where bused in on Monday morning, stayed with a city family, then on Friday after school they went back to the res.
They got their ass kicked in the city for being res kids and on the res for being apples.
They have indentured poverty, racism, alcoholism, rape, incest, drug abuse, self esteem issues on top of that they have had their identities and culture forcefully taken from them in their own country. We also have a huge system that encourages helplessness in their community rather then give them the tools of empowerment and betterment.
The only solution is going to be an expensive one that's really going to require a huge amount of input from positive members of the community to become high profile for the right reasons and Education, education, education.
The natives don't have an Oprah, Colin Powell, Barrack Obama, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Booker T Washington, or a Martin Luther King. Jr.
When they start to produce leaders who are scholars, politicians and leaders of industry who'll push for the positive changes needed in their community you'll start to see a slow change in the community.
Did just as judgmental as everybody else what about Chief Bill Wilson??
they have tools to survive. its just that nature has been ruined and their tools don't work with this unnatural setting made by white colonization. hunting and gathering needs the land to be open and free, which sadly it's a prison planet. i get nauseous seeing those lost brothers wearing white, black clothing on their own will.but I'm speaking to the choir,so the saying goes. thanks for the support
Barack Obama is a piece of shit. I agree with you on all else. I encourage you to watch the documentary, "Incident at Oglala" and the movie, "Thunderheart". I believe the documentary is still on Netflix.
I'm not debating wether Obama is a piece of shit. I'm saying he's proof that a black man in the US can achieve anything.
The native community has no one of that caliber.

Its true, i hate how ppl forgot about Native americans
That’s what happens when roaming bison was replaced with money. No source, no tradition. Money and other valuable means replaced everything and became a new tradition. A blessing and also curse. It’s just the way it is. When people talk about honour, come on. It’s just a word that has no meaning today, because no one has honour. The only thing people honour is things of value. Some one steals a car, or breaks into a home a take things of value. That person who was victimized by theft never forgets who stole their valuables. Compared to a best friend who died, or that person who was shot, and they are completely forgotten until they see a picture of that person.
I'm maori I found sticking to my tride and customs kept me from wanting to be in a gang. My brother's on the other hand love the gang they are in. We grew up around that because of our father. I stuck to my grandparents, because gang life disgusted me.
My grandparents were strict. It was good. I learnt more off them than my parents.
Right on! Culture's way stronger! Id rather be part of a TRUE tribe than a gang!

I am born and raised in Winnipeg. 31. Filipino. I've known alot of Aboriginals in my lifetime. My aunt is married to a real nice ojibway man. My sister is married to an awesome metis guy. My sister in law also has some Aboriginal decent in her. I've had awesome Aboriginal friends throughout my life. I meet awesome aboriginal people everyday! I remember in elementary I had classmates who were cousins. They definitely had a rough upbringing (they talked about it all the time). They Struggled in school but had great hearts. One time I was being bullied and someone wanted to fight me and I remember those two just sticking up for me making sure I didn't get hurt. I will never forget that. I also worked in a foster home. And these kids who have had a rough life are trying to make a difference in their own lives and for others. I have also seen the other side. Those who make a bad name for themselves. I'm kind of on the fence. I can't truly understand all that they go through, but I do believe they can make a difference personally. My boss is a great example. He used to be a big time gangster. And he turned his life around after realizing enough is enough. Outlook and attitude can do alot for someone. There are many things I enjoy about Aboriginal people. Their spirituality, food, hospitality, creativity. Sometimes just saying a greetng in cree or ojibway can just open a never ending conversation. I've had nothing but respect from the different Aboriginal people's (different tribes/cultures/class) but then again I try to treat everybody with respect.
Napoleon del Rosario exactly! It's how they were raised! Every individual has chances to turn their life around and do the right thing! Choices choices choices!
They never allow their women to marry outsiders
Who are you talking about? Are you talking about First Nations?
I was raised by my dad only on the CCT Rez.And alcohol and drugs in my life constantly.But my dad taught me respect and empathy .So I try to treat everybody that doesn't throw hate and ignorance at me as I would like to be treated.Sadly I lost the only parent I had to Liverl failure cirrhosis .But he's still with me in the teachings he passed on to me.

As 1st generation Italian American this hits home not in the native sense but in the sense of being raised in a culture that glorifies crime and that way of thinking and trying to find a away out of it was extremely hard a young man I struggled daily with the temptation of giving up work at a 9to5 job making 200a week when cousins of mine that were younger are driving BMWs and wearing Gucci shoes and telling to quit my job and come with them

As someone living in Winnipeg pretty much every single Native person I've met has been good-humored, intelligent, and friendly. I've honestly never run into any of the types that showed up in this video. It's pretty shitty that the minority casts a shadow on the rest of the community.
Really? cause most of the time its the bad i run into, Used to work in portage place mall and probably got jumped about 5 times while i was working there and it was all by aboriginal.
Sadly due to the poverty they live in, the racism they experienced and the trauma passed down to each generation has created these statistics. As someone who is Métis, violence is acted out by indigenous a lot more. Simply cuz they live in worse conditions and have been subjected to trauma, with many parents resorting to drug abuse which leads to birth defects and anger issues with youth. Walking in downtown Winnipeg is dangerous. Countless times I’ve been approached, harassed and threatened. My fathers been jumped multiple times on his way to work. My mother had a man piss on her at a bus stop then punch an old lady in the face. My brother and I have had rocks thrown at our car. But this isn’t because their indigenous, that I wanna make clear. If it were white people in their shoes the violence would be of the same level. It’s all because they are a product of poverty. It’s like that around the world. Nothing to do with their skin colour. Most indigenous people outside of poverty are the nicest people you met. Just like how Mexican , Asian, or white people outside of poverty are nice. The simple answer is poverty. So unless you’ve lived in poverty you’re statement makes sense. And until people start viewing indigenous the way you described this will never end. Because these people are human, they just had all the odds against them for so long that many don’t know what to do with their lives or how to regulate their emotion/actions. Poverty is passed down to each generation and until that ends I sadly don’t see an end to this.
Totally agree

Ever hear of walk a mile in someone else's shoes? Sometimes it is impossible when their shoes were taken a long time ago. I grew up with Native Americans and watched this first hand. You put people at the bottom and this will eventually happen. Unsure? Look at the prison population in the US. 80% Blacks and Hispanics, which coincidentally, tend to be at the bottom of the social and financial class as a result of hundreds of years of racial discrimination.

@Not My last name You make a great point because the people in Europe used to belong to tribes now look at them got a whole new set of identity, culture, values...it was removed forcefully from them like the natives here in the Americas. Sure they can do whatever they or you like....but to be native is to live it, know it, participate in it. So that those ways and knowledge get passed on to the next generation. If your not interested in doing that then your doing your thing and that's how groups die off. To call themselves native but dont want no part of it....sure ok I guess. But their not in belief or practice....soo are they really?.... ill tell you who we all are...we are conscious with infinite awareness having an experience here on this earth.... the key point here is all races of color beliefs creeds come from this same consciousness. Remember who/we are is the point here

Living in Winnipeg almost all my life and north end specifically over the last few years, as well as being in foster care I got first hand experience of seeing the people who I lived with associate and be in gangs, it was a shock because those were people I cared about, but I very quickly realized that they were really just needing a family and that’s what they’ve been involved with. I am white so I cannot speak for them but despite me not associating with gangs if I meet someone and befriend someone in a gang I will still treat them as human. This video is old but it still rings true, Winnipeg despite being an incredibly diverse city is rooted in racism and biased, things need to change.
it's gonna be a long time before the cycle is broken on a larger scale my friend, as a fellow north ender I send you love. This city is beautiful and RICH with culture, if only the systemic issues could be resolved :(
I’m from the west end/st James area, but I commute to elmwood for work, at a warehouse near elmwood school. It may not be the north end, but it’s still pretty bad, and it’s heartbreaking to walk around the area during school hours and see how many kids are ditching, and how adults, especially teachers, have given up on indigenous kids from such a young age. If you’re an impressionable child surrounded by gangs who’ll promise you money and a sense of belonging, while basically being taught that there’s no point in trying to gain an education and leave the ghetto, of course you’ll choose the more realistic option! I know someone who taught at that school, and they said that 90% of the middle schoolers there have already given up hope.
The solution to all of this may not be straightforward, but the system we have now is only furthering our cycle of pain and suffering, and I don’t get how they don’t see that all of this will only ever continue to get worse without change.
It is about capitalism, and imperialist capitalism. Put the working class in power and all will be taken care of. All of us and all of it.
@@revertinthemaking No, it is about people who want to live off fast, illegal money rather than work for honest money.
I meet a lot of small town native peoples the one I meet are very well manner polite kind good heart
Not My last name slide by elmwood wpg🤣💀😭😭🤣
They are great people with a great culture, beautiful beliefs and amazing strength, like all cultures they have their downfalls and deal with addiction
Probably get maced by some but crummy thug by the towers lol
-Indian women like to have fun. Always have a good laugh going on. Migwhich.
@@taiganwind7787 why you saying thankyou?
A lot of this is because boys need a Father figure. Young boys need a man to guide them... Not just Native boys; all boys.
Wow. I appreciate this video.im Native American but was taught by my grandmother we make our future.Never blame your past if you didn't like the way you were raised.Then break the cycle and make the change.Stay Native.
^says the guy with a name such as urs . pfft
Good to see a mentality that is not a victim mentality here. You will never break through if you use the past to dictate your future.
Your Grandmother sounds like she was Wise.
Sounds to me like your grandmother was very intelligent! Like you said there is no growth when continuing to blame what some, not all, "white men" and the past government did in 1840, then punishing all the future generations and all Canadians, including those who fought for Native rights and freedoms and equality and made change happen, along with their children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren etc etc and everyone else that carries white skin, and/or lives in or has the nerve to be born in Canada, still to this very day in almost 2020.
I guess I'm trying to find the reasoning behind why people think the best way to grow, make change in the world, and to show/instilling in people that its horrible, wrong, and completely inhumane, to punish/hurt/condemn others, as the natives were, just because of the color of their skin and/or because of where they happen to be born or happen to live, is to punish every and all innocent (non involved) future generations because the color of their skin and/or because of where they happen to be born or happen to live??!! 🤷♀️ 🤔 🤦♀️
Hookers n' Cocaine not true at all. I’m proud to be native.
People don't really realize there are gangs in Canada
Nah the real gangs at chiraq 😈
their pussies compared to British gangs
+breighton2885 bisbane *American*
I thought Canada was suppose to be perfect
there may be gangs but they ain't on gang shit like us cities
I'm from Ontario, grew up the same way bein' from the 90's. and even though i spent most of my younger days in childcare care homes, foster homes, or at a family shelter... i never joined a gang..
I grew up the same exact way man, and when these little gangsters would ask me.. "wanna join my gang!?" ... "join our gang man"..
I never, ever... EVER! joined any fkn gangsters..
I raised my younger siblings, I worked what i could, did what I could, my mother was a heavy alcoholic, and left to Thunder Bay so I can look after my younger siblings at the age of 14...
not even a week, child services took my younger siblings but not me, cause i was already long gone..
i went to a store to get some food and shit..
I was nearly home when I saw a bunch of vehicles parked outside my place, and saw my siblings gettin into those vehicles, i waited for awhile .
everyone was gone after 20 mins, I went into my home, and saw that there was no one, every one had gone...
I didn't need anyone but me....
I let every one go, and let my mother run, I never saw her for 5 yrs... when i did, we spent 5 yrs together before she passed....
just... I never joined any gangs ...didn't need em, never did never will.
thanks for sharing this experience
STAY STRONG
CN TM I hope you found your siblings my fellow warrior.
Looooooooool rekt
True Warrior..STRONG SPIRIT MIND AND SOUL...BLESSINGS AND LOVE FROM SAN ANTONIO TEXAS😘😘😘...
The most dangerous place is Thompson so much killings, missing people, and drugs there.(edit) I've never called Winnipeg murderpeg nor have i heard anyone else say that
LOL thats where i live
Wow. No matter what u give them, some ppl just turn everything to trash
then you've never lived in winnipeg or been there if you haven't hard that before
They're all scared alone, immaturity causes safety in numbers.
I don't understand the situation at all. There is a law right? Selling drugs, wearing a knife or gun are against the law. So enforce the law, police men. Seems like the only problem here is police. Put all of them with their faces to the ground. No rights to criminals. Why somebody should lose a car just because of some child decided to play a gangsta. They are gangs only because of nobody enforces the law. Like in Russia. Nobody cares about your rights or how you live in poverty. If some top dog says to the police go there and get rid of a gang, Russian police will wipe those gangsters out. That's it.
Audio Production/Music Production Course Russian mob ????
Audio Production/Music Production Course LOL boy you stupid
Yea I was stupid.. I was a stupid kid once.. it's still a part of my life
@@audioproductionmusicproduc8518 Cuz locking people solves everything right? I can tell you can't think for much.
you embrace a culture not your own. Thuggy project natives.
The true indigenous warrior true to himself and his people are the ones to respect.
They are not Warriors Samoans are the true warrior's
Wish everyone could own a home and happy family
Most people could if they quit, all the extras, drinking, smoking, drugs, dinners out, shiny objects, etc.
But theyd still have me. So....
these comments irritate me. it sounds like “aboriginals” are a different breed of human “I met a very nice native family once who are actually nice, humble and pleasant” that’s very back handed and discouraging. as a child, i used to be so ashamed to be INDIGENOUS but now I know that all these stereotypes and even this video is the result of the cultural genocide and intergenerational trauma that is being passed down and especially the government not caring and continuing to hold empty promises. im grateful my family broke this detrimental cycle however, the lack of resources and respect towards indigenous peoples is disgusting nonetheless. it’s really not that hard to educate yourselves on these topics to learn why our society holds these views and continues to try and diminish our values simply based on crime. could literally go on about the correlation between poverty and crime and how those go hand on hand but the internet is free.
also yes, “aboriginal” is offensive, it’s really not that hard to say indigenous! let’s be respectful🤝
I’m kinda ashamed of my family mostly being in a gang, it makes me sad that people look at me with a weird look and saying to people
“You should stay away from her, or her family will beat you down.”
It hurts me.

It is not your fault just continue to be yourself. Learn to figure your self worth because you deserve better. Build up your self-esteem and love you. Giving others respect goes a long way and when you show others respect you will find people respond to you. Best regards.
@@almabelhumeur6672 the most nicest thinb i read on UA-cam today...thankyou for being kind and encouraging this random stranger..just feel sad with so many nasty comments on here
@@mshammond_uk1831 Thank you, I am a very positive person.
My family treated me badly because they knew they couldn't trust me to keep their secrets, at least that is what I think. The other part of it is they were hoping I would join in. In the end, they simply took advantage of me as much as possible while at the same time treating me badly to keep me down. I don't think that would have happened if they were native gangs, instead of Russian mob. But my indigenous grandmother, who I only met once as an adult, confided her truth to me, that she was adopted into a white family and put into prostitution.
i will say it again, CAPITALISM is the problem. Bring the working class to power and we will all be looked after, fairly. Stay strong, Sister.
Winnipeg isn't Murderpeg, it's Winterpeg.

Actually, Winnipeg can be both.
Either: Murderpeg.
Or: Winterpeg.
Cold n stabby
no one have to should experience the stabbing cold of Winnipeg
This is very sad. Great nations brought low.
what u expect, the mayors that run these cities care about using all that money to have 10 different colored lambos and expensive things, they never use that money to create more shopping plazas with job growth, this is what happens
Same thing happened to us blacks. I love my native people ✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿
@Cali God wouldn't really say mexicans but Russians sounds more accurate for they did migrate from Siberia. So is north american really Putin's land?
@@ginoperez4483 this city needs two things. Jobs and police. Bowman has no interest in either.
They were never great nations
How many of these documentaries can be produced. One is exactly the same as the last one. Doesn't it seem strange that they never focus on a positive message. Instead they just push the same propaganda decade after decade.
But we’re not all alcoholics, gang members, druged. There’s natives that provide and take care of their home and land. There’s violence everywhere, not just a specific race all races are the same.
True but in Canada the natives are the most prevalent in living in poverty and commiting crimes.
Aysha Monias your really beautiful
There's only one human race, how can u not see that
@@danielcordova7604 shut up nobody asked you.
says the peice of trash
big respect for the man talking about his experiences in the gang life, you can clearly tell he's uncomfortable, yet he's still giving some insight and helping further education on why there are so many kids committing crimes. i just cant understand the racist comments on this vid, and ignorance to the issues, and history, that clearly cause the 'mass' gang affiliation within these communities.
ya why did know one call that out it takes a lot to talk about stuff like that and it can be dangerous
Dont remember this on the travel to canada leaflet. Im being sarcastic. But this what happens when you hide problems
liamsimpson1994 and a nice tour of the DTES
Iam all for history and culture and health care . BUT its time to contribute to society and help pay the frieght. Time for free houseing and payouts is about welfare . Time to catch the bus and go work, its called back bone and PRIDE catch the wave
About time, Vice. Good on ya.
Very well done, Vice. This is quite informative. I definitely see some similarities between these Native American communities and the struggles of various Black communities in America. Certainly makes me wonder if similar circumstances created what we see going on in both communities.
I know it's been it 8 years but I'll give my experience being ingenious in Canada. We are treated like 2nd class citizens by mostly white people in cities across Canada. Canadians are still extremely racist to indigenous people. Constantly being belittled in our own land so obviously some indigenous people will be angry.
And they have legal black guns "good for taking down a deer" whereas we are not allowed them any more.
HF theres alot of racist comments 😂 anyway, don't misunderstand.. there are more good indigenous people out here, the elders are always the wisest people!
Why don't the young ones listen then.???
Why don’t young blacks and whites listen too ???????????????????????
@@andrecummings13 nice deflection of one's responsibility. keep blaming others.
Ain't nobody racist. We just find it funny that there's a Canadian Aboriginal G'z, bitches!!!!
Miigwetch.
This is the result of the generational ripple effect caused by the trauma that our ancestors endured.
You can also go to school and get a job
Flashyfinancier Me particularly? Been there, done that. It also still doesn’t change the truth behind my statement.
@@NEECHEE not just you. Every native person
Flashyfinancier I could say the same about every White person
@@NEECHEE no because we already go to school and we have jobs. Crime is only a small part of our society. Crime is a huge part of first nations society
