Native leaders and band members of a London-area First Nation are fuming over what some describe as a racist Internet video taken at a local pow-wow that mocks native people, the obese, the disabled and others.
Despite the outrage, the video remained on YouTube yesterday afternoon.
An official with the Munsee-Delaware First Nation says the band's leaders have met with police and they are exploring what other action they can take.
"People are pretty upset," said Paul Henry, Munsee-Delaware band administrator.
"It puts people in a bad light -- making fun of them -- and the band council is looking into it. We're not going to let this go away. We're exploring ways to deal with it."
The YouTube video was made during a Munsee-Delaware pow-pow July 4 and was videotaped by a person who identifies himself as Scared White Guy.
It is posted under the profile name 'Campterror.'
