While a tragedy, 6000 deaths over 150 years isn't an outlier for the times considering child mortality used to above 10% for half of that time period and for longer in such remote areas.

Canada is doing the best it can to deal with indigenous populations, they sue us if we try help them and they sue us if we don't. They will keep finding reasons to sue the taxpayers until we stop giving them money. We fix things and give them houses, then they sue us because we don't maintain them and they won't let us maintain their water systems because they want us to pay them to maintain water systems we gave them.

Honestly I wish one day we give them the same rights as every other Canadian and stop sending them billions of dollars every other month.
