Your point would have a better chance at being heard if you hadn't shot it in the foot with the term "shtako".
do you feel the first nations presence in the show is only there as a gimmick for the cave paintings, or that it's adequately a refreshing representation for once?Quote:

Actualy i was conflicted by it but after thinking on it i was actualy pleased. As it was done in a fairly respectful manner. and was used in a way that added intrigue and depth to the story.Quote:

Wich actualy thier has been drawings from both the mohavae and kamia tribes that favor astronaut suits .
did they say which tribe they are? I didn't think they've ever even confirmed or addressed their ethnicity (which I really, really liked), most back-story I have heard was the whole dog-food heir :P So far, I'm pleased with it, I like the diversity when they don't force the whole "they're native, so they must have magic powers" BS. I hope they don't end up going that route.Quote:

he's good people. from what I understand the reservations up here are a lot better than the are south of the border - a lot more autonomy up here, especially when you get really far north and away from "civilization".Quote:

There've been a lot of protests lately from the local tribes in Toronto, and there's fear of a potentially armed uprising pretty soon over natural resources. Happened about 10-15 years ago in Quebec, don't know how well something like that would go over down south of the borderQuote:
