Exemplifiying the Wimpitude of His Kind, Justin Trudeau "Exonerates" Indigenous Chiefs Implicated in 150 Year Old Murders

Justin genuflects to the gods of political correctness--again:

OTTAWA - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to exonerate six First Nations chiefs who were executed by British Columbia's colonial government more than 150 years ago.

Trudeau's itinerary says he will "deliver a statement of exoneration" for the Tsilhqot'in chiefs in the House of Commons at 3 p.m.

The warriors were hanged following a deadly confrontation with white road builders during the so-called "Chilcotin War of 1864."

After the workers were killed, five chiefs arrived at what they believed would be peace talks with government representatives. Instead, they were arrested, tried and hanged, and a sixth chief was executed the following year in New Westminster.

The Tsilhqot'in have long disputed the government's authority to execute the six chiefs as criminals, describing the confrontation as an altercation between warring nations...

Very interesting. Over on Wikipedia, however, it doesn't sound like "an altercation" as much as it does a horrific mass murder of whites by natives:

n 1862, Alfred Waddington began lobbying the press and his political allies for support to a wagon road from Bute Inlet to Fort Alexandria where it would connect to the Cariboo Road and continue on to the goldfields at Barkerville.[3] He received approval for the construction early in 1863. According to Waddington, it would reduce land travel from 359 miles to 185 miles and the total days consumed in packing freight from 37 days to 22 compared to the Yale-Fraser Canyon route known as the Cariboo Road favoured by Governor Douglas. The Bute Inlet Wagon Road was to follow the Homathko River valley from the mouth of Bute Inlet and then swing northeast across the Chilcotin Plateau to join the Bentinck Arm Trail at Puntzi Lake and the mouth of the Quesnel River. It was also one of the routes considered and advocated by Waddington for the transcontinental railway eventually constructed to what became Vancouver instead.[4]:192

Construction had been underway for two years when, on April 29, 1864 a ferryman, Timothy Smith, stationed 30 miles up the river was killed after refusing a demand from Klattasine, Tellot and other natives for food. Smith was shot and his body thrown into the river. The food stores and supplies were looted. A half ton of provisions were taken.[5] The following day the natives attacked the workers' camp at daylight. Three men, Peterson Dane, Edwin Moseley and a man named Buckley, though injured, escaped and fled down the river. The remaining crew were killed and their bodies thrown into the river.[6]

Four miles further up the trail, the band came upon the foreman, William Brewster, and three of his men blazing trail. All were killed. Brewster's body was mutilated and left. The others' bodies were thrown into the river. The band also killed William Manning, a settler at Puntzi Lake.[4]:192

A pack train led by Alexander McDonald, though warned, continued into the area and three of the drivers were killed in the ensuing ambush.[4]:192 In all, nineteen men were killd.

Who is Justin Trudeau to "exonerate" those responsible for such brutal acts in a bid to revise history to conform to current notions of "truth and reconciliation" (both of which are quite impossible when one is committed to telling lies about the past)?
