About this Quote

He praises Canada for their capability to exist together in harmony with their indigenous population, while revealing disappointment and embarassment towards the United States for their failure to do the very same. Ambrose's words recommend that the United States has a history of maltreating and oppressing Native American neighborhoods, while Canada has managed to preserve a more unified relationship with their native population. This quote acts as a tip of the continuous struggles and injustices dealt with by Native American neighborhoods in the United States, and the potential for a more serene and considerate method towards native individuals.
