Years ago, it was the same here in Canada. 30/40 years ago it was all just listed as ‘drunk indian was killed’ and the excuse was often just a brawl, accident, unfortunate event caused by alcohol abuse. These days it’s not so prevalent or obvious … fewer people being killed … but more being beaten, abused or taken advantage of. Hotels/Motels in northern towns often have ‘Indian sections’ in them where native people are booked to keep them relegated and controlled, even if you are a clean cut Native person with a family and children.
