Lodge owner apologizes to First Nations for offensive brochure

If only they spent half the time they do crying racism on improving their own communities and people, they'd be much further ahead.

The solution here is not to hire native guides at all. Problem solved.

"they have a basic intolerance for alcohol. "

They are upset by the facts? Sorry, but every native I've known not only fits this description, but admits to it!

TFW's?

Incoming inquest......

A bit insensitive but unfortunately it may be more than just a stereotype.


Given that statement it'd be my guess that the Chief would prefer to see some money change hands before he accepts any apologies.

A quick google shows that Natives do seem to be genetically less able to handle alcohol, just as Chinese and Japanese, but not other Asians, are very resistant to alcoholism because they get so sick on very little booze. Certainly there are also plenty of whit folks who also can't handle booze without it becoming a problem for them.

Wonder how many of the Lodge's clients have a booze problem? Are they trying to push booze on the guides, like so many drunks will do? A more rational approach would be for the Lodge to determine who has a booze problem among their staff and try to prevent them from being plied with booze. In fact it may just be good policy to have the guides not be allowed to drink while on the job, including at night, since they're supposed to keep the clients safe and all.
