Just... LMAO. I already wasn't really planning on whatever defensive crap you spewed next, but just for the heck of it, I'm going to emphasize that you can't read my mind. You are putting words into my mouth to fit your argument.
You couldn't have known, and are wrong about, me "really fucking obvious"ly not giving any consideration to First Nations people. It is not backpedaling to say that I came to a similar conclusion about what werebeaver hunting would mean in colonial Canada. We could have agreed if you had decided on any other track than insulting my intelligence and assuming the absolute worst of my intentions at every opportunity (since, hey, I was talking myself actually knowing a thing or two, but it's not shocking at this point that you managed to turn that around). If you had said, "French colonialists hunting (were)beavers to near extinction could be an extension of the drain they put on First Nation lives and resources," or something Carey Price not feeling safe in Montreal, or anything at all that established this mutually reached conclusion, I could have said, "Yes, exactly!". But instead you appointed yourself a "critic" over a conversation partner, and decided to spend however many comments with your I'm-educating-a-racist-idiot glasses on while (at this point, I can only assume) deliberately building up things that were not meant.
So, really, really, you had no way of knowing my intention, and I'd say way you went around trying to figure it out the wrong way if I actually thought you had any interest in understanding me. It's still honestly baffling that you tried to say your replies were polite, or anything short of pure condescension.
