Isn't that incredibly wonderful?!?

[maryjane48]

sure but i th8nk its fitting that one of canadas greatest imspirational heros is also part first canadian
... the sad thing is if this was known before he started his run some people would of accused him of trying raise money to get drunk or trying to showboat to get more money from govt .

Regretfully, that would prolly have happened, MJ...there's a lot of arses out there.

Wonderful thing is that now that Mr. Fox's heritage has come to light maybe a few of those boneheads

will pause for moment the next time they feel the inclination to make a racial slur or negative

comment about one Canada's First People's.

there was no countries back then . it was just humans . the topic is terry fox is honored as being metis . sorry white canada he isnt all just yours anymore

Hilarious how some would want to minimize First Nation's history in Canada. Why not go all the way back to "Lucy" in Africa then?

I will give credit where credit is due; congratulations to the Fox family for Terry being part native, must be where he got his running spirit from. He was, and is, part of a noble background.

The entire structure as it has developed bureaucratically is condoned racism, plain and simple.

Sincerely, a Canadian with First Nations heritage proudly refusing to seek any sort of 'status'.

I don't care what Terry Fox was other than he had grit, determination, and a massive heart.

the thread isnt about if anyone cares . its about him recieving a sash from his heratage . simple as that . but i didnt know his backfround before and now i do

So what. A lot of people in Canada have some First Nations Ancestry and don't even know it. I find the whole concept kind of stupid - we're all related anyway. If you go back far enough, all of our ancestors were from the same parts of Asia and Europe.
