Like you said, not even 50 years ago.

heres just a tiny idea of what we used to do to native children. n fact, it was not until 1980 that the Child, Family and Community Services Act required social workers to notify the band council if an Aboriginal child were removed from the community.5An alarmingly disproportionate number of Aboriginal children were apprehended from the 1960s onward. By the 1970s, roughly one third of all children in care were Aboriginal.6 Approximately 70 percent of the children apprehended were placed into non-Aboriginal homes

You know what makes that incident worse?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

1% of the population but 33% of the entire kids welfare being comprised of their children. and there was no paperwork needed

and to add to this, JUST RECENTLY we removed an automatic flag in hospitals when a native person gives birth. up until then, was automatically flagged as at risk

straight up institutional racism

Marlon Brando specifically chose this woman to speak on behalf of him as protest. He sent her to pick up his award for HIS GREATEST PERFORMANCE IN THE GODFATHER and how does John Wayne react to her presence? He fucking berates her and tried to assault her for speaking out about Native American rights violations.
