(Let’s not forget that in 2004, Harper sent a letter to an Ontario native organization congratulating them on Republic Day, which is actually celebrated in India to mark the date when their constitution took effect.
He wrote: "On the occasion of India's national day, I salute the Indian community for long-standing contributions to the economic and cultural vitality of our wonderful country”.)

LOL. Yes, perhaps Harper is still confused about the difference between the people of India and First Nations. That would explain his failure to act. He sent money to the Indians. More likely it is reflective of how he actually feels about Canada's Aboriginal Peoples in general. Hard to believe such a limited, unfeeling, pompous ass became Prime Minister of Canada.
