	David Ahenakew - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Ahenakew (born July 28, 1933) is a Canadian First Nations politician, and former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
		On June 8, 2006, the decision was sucesfully appealed by Ahenakew based on the grounds that the trial judge failed to properly take into consideration that the remarks were uttered in the midst of an angry confrontation with a reporter, and therefore his remarks may not have constituted a "wilful" promotion of hatred.
		Ahenakew was born at Sandy Lake Indian Reserve in Saskatchewan, Canada.

		David Ahenakew was a smart politician who is supposed to be a represenative of Native people.
		Ahenakew was comparing the genocide of the Jewish population to compare to the Aboriginal genocide (circa 1492) - I don't interpret this as to 'wilfully promoting hate', but rather his intent was to compare the groups as genocidal victims.
		Ahenakew initially said his remarks were meant as part of a private conversation; the comment about the Jews being a disease was made to a reporter with a tape recorder following a dinner speech.

		Christie said he will argue that comments Ahenakew made to a newspaper reporter in 2002, referring to Jews as “a disease” and justifying the Holocaust, were made in private conversation and don’t come under the terms of the Criminal Code’s anti-hate law.
		Christie said Ahenakew didn’t know the reporter was tape-recording their conversation, and he was expecting to be interviewed on a different topic and, therefore, didn’t expect that his comments on Jews were part of the interview.
		Ahenakew has said he would not appeal his removal from the Order of Canada, but he said he would not give up his pins and medals and that officials would have to take them.

		The weak response to David Ahenakew’s "Hitler was an okay guy" diatribe is an indication that anti-Semitism is slowly becoming as acceptable in Canada as anti-Americanism is. Ahenakew and Ducros are significant, not for what they said, but for what they each represent.

	Ravishing Light: Be wary of who you accuse
		"I didn't mean to hurt people's feelings." And yet, convicted of hate speech, David Ahenakew doesn't seem very sorry.
		On having his Order of Canada membership tentatively revoked: "This, of course, was the direct result of the pressure put on the (Governor General's) advisory committee by some of the Jewish community, including a letter-writing campaign and the lobbying by the Canadian Jewish Congress," he said at a news conference.
		He received the Order of Canada in 1978 for being a "member of a United Nations committee and of the World Indigenous Peoples Council." Is it possible, perhaps, that either or both bodies were aware of his antisemitic tendencies, and didn't care...or, worse, saw nothing objectionable about his irrational blame-fantasies?
