I was listening to Trail of Tears off Low the other day, and watched the new King of the Hill where Gribble went on a vision quest, and I was thinking Chucks Native American heritage has all the elements to make for some well written metal lyrics. I was thinking the album could be written in a epic storyline similar to Operation Mindcrime. America's treatment of Native Americans provides all the rage, sorrow, and angst that a metal lyricist could dream of. Even our current treatment of Native Americans is shameful. Just an idea to throw around.
Idea for the lyrics of the new album-Chuck Billy's Native American Heritage

I don't know about in the states, but in the frozen wastelands of Canada natives seem to have it pretty good. They don't pay any taxes and university/college stuff is all free (... to them; us non-natives have to pay their way). I do understand, since our ancestors pillaged their lands and raped their women and so on... but I haven't heard of any shameful treatment of natives around here.
I m not an Native AMerican or anything- but I did take a few classes on their history- and i remember that Canada out many of the Indians in Catholic schools and they were of course raped and abused, and I know they were not given any education other than how to sew etc. I also remember something about a big lawsuit over all of this- am i correct in any of these thoughts?
"and i remember that Canada out many of the Indians in Catholic schools and they were of course raped and abused"
This sentence doesn't make any sense to me. When did this happen? Like, much earlier than now?

yes I must have left some words out of that sentence.- I have read though that the Canadian gov. even offered many of the eastern Indians a apology for the abuse etc.
It was probably from long ago... or just a few incidents... I've never heard anything like that. But were they mistreated from governemnt policies and shit like that, or from biased individuals??
