Why the fuck would you go to the US?

These indigenous territories span both Canada and the United States, so people need to travel to the United States to visit relatives and access services.

Because these communities existed before the border, which was imposed on them by colonizers.

Sure, but if you know there's a high likelihood of problems going somewhere, it's a smart idea to avoid it.

As per the rule with cars: dead right is still dead.

I've seen statements going out from larger Indigenous social media groups urging caution - wouldn't doubt though that the Mohawk or Blackfoot are going to cross regardless, because their families are across that border or for cultural reasons.

It's a rock and a hard place problem.
