Crooked Words , Furcate Tongue - some thoughts about First Nation negotiations

Crooked Words , Furcate Tongue

By Charles Wagamese

In old grade b westerns we donned Hollywood wigs to chase civilized folks around. Once you caught them they’d make a nice little treaty with you. However just when you were sure it was happily ever after time you’d discover that their words were somewhat furcate.

Those civilized folks still speak with furcate- which means forked- tongue today.
