Eugene,The Bible quote - while often attributed to Tutu - was never said by him. Think about it. Tutu is a man of the Bible. He cannot go against what it represents. The quote is also frequently attributed to Kenyatta. Kenyatta did not express the idea either. In fact, Kenyatta was one of the biggest land grabbers in Africa. The first mention of the idea came from a German playwright after WWII. Check it up. One thing is sure. If you want real wealth, buy land and live on it. Mervyn

Though the First Nations have many rights, they lifestyles and their reservation sites are a sad commentary on Canada. As Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa once famously said, "The whites came with Bibles and took over over land, and now we have the Bibles and they have the land." In respect of culture, Quebec fought for Independence but had to settle with special status and many other concessions to remain as part of the Canadian confederation. Eugene
