Just as the French are still considered a "distinct culture" on these lands, so should be the Original Peoples of Turtle Island. The Original Peoples of Turtle Island (first law of the land) prior to the European invasion have always had deep spiritual and cultural ties to the land, air, water, and viewed all of nature as interconnected and sacred. Who, or what culture could possibly disagree with this?
But that a science, which distinguishes the criterions of right and wrong; which teaches to establish the one, and prevent, punish, or redress the other; which employs in its theory the noblest faculties of the soul, and exerts in its practice the cardinal virtues of the heart; a science, which is universal in its use and extent, accommodated to each individual, yet comprehending the whole community; that a science like this should have never been deemed unnecessary to be studied in a university, is matter for astonishment and concern. Surely, if it were not before an object of academical knowledge, it was high time to make it so. – Sir William Blackstone - Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-69) from a lecture given in 1758
Law is:
1. A rule of conduct.
2. Backed by force, not by custom.
3. Based on higher moral authority.
Forms of Law according to Sir William Blackstone.
“Man, considered as a creature, must necessarily be subject to the laws of his Creator. It is necessary that he should, in all points, conform to his Makers will.
This will of his Maker is called the Law of Nature. The Law of Nature, dictated by God himself, is superior in obligation to any other.
It is binding over all the globe, in all countries, and at all times. No human laws are of any validity if contrary to this.”
Law of Nature is revealed by God through human reason and conscience.
Revealed Law is found only in scripture.
Municipal Law is man made law, enacted by civil government, is valid only if it conforms to Law of Nature and Revealed Law.

There are always voids left to skewer what we would believe to be a great humanitarian gesture.
