Though long retired from my formal duties as a professional cultural anthropologist, I continue to venerate the traditional role that cross-cultural comparison has played in discovering the universal, widespread, and unique features of the human condition.

Employing cross-cultural, cross-national comparison to study the contemporary adversities faced by the indigenous peoples of Canada quickly shows that these adversities and how various biased internal and external actors deal with them share many features around the world.

As Mark Powell, a no nonsense Minister at Cornerstone Presbyterian Church on Tasmania, an island state that is part of Australia, one of these common features is the way contemporary critics of the treatment of their indigenous peoples are either painfully ignorant of or have deliberately distorted historical facts for political reasons.

More particularly, Pastor Powell has clearly shown in the following essay titled “Ten things the Archbishop of Canterbury should know about Australia's 'Stolen Generations’,” published on October 13, 2022, that no “stolen generations” genocide was attempted or committed against the aboriginal inhabitants of what is now the independent nation of Australia.

The political propaganda parallels, unhinged from any facts, to Canada’s alleged genocidal treatment of its indigenous peoples is painfully obvious in Pastor Powell’s carefully crafted and documented piece reproduced in whole on the other side of the paywall with his kind permission.
