On the heels
of the debate over how to categorize the biggest state land acquisition in a generation, the Adirondack Council pooh - poohed state government over what they
perceived as a
lack of commitment to expanding Wilderness, protecting forests and wildlife, addressing threats from off - road vehicles and strengthening state agencies.
This impatience manifests as frustration at the
perceived lack of achievement, or in the suggestion that Indigenous people must somehow be at fault because
of the persistence
of the disadvantage (the
lack of progress being blamed on «waste» and
perceived lack of accountability
of Indigenous organizations), [63] a growing intolerance to
commitments being made at the highest levels to concrete measures to redress such disadvantage, and in more extreme cases, a return to discredited views which suggest that the only way to improve the situation
of Indigenous peoples is for them to assimilate into mainstream society.
