> According to the report, a "police spokeswoman acknowledged that the section on starlight tours had been deleted using a computer within the department, but said investigators were unable to pinpoint who did it."

Can't even solve a case within their own dept, what's the hope for anyone else?

The treatment of native and african Americans in the North American continent is so unjust and severe, and has been persistent for decades in a way that it's almost like a long drawn-out genocide.

unbalanced representations only fuel the fire of antagonism; far too many examples on both sides of justice in the last sixty years, for a single summary right?

In other words:

When I read about Inuit culture of non-violence in the 20th century [1], and wheb I read about them today [2], I have this disgusted feeling that Western culture of drugs and anger is like a virus that spread into their completely non-immunized population. A bit like the diseases brought into the new world in the 19th century, but this time psychological.

What would the “both sides” mean here? Hushed up murders were First Nation members froze police to death?

I think I understand the gist of what you're saying, but it's hard to follow your wording. Especially, "far too many examples on both sides of justice". Can you try to clarify?

I found the summary accurate, at least from my knowledge of the treatment of indigenous people in Canada (the subject of this HN post).
