What is He Thinking!

ATHABASCA CHIPEWYAN FIRST NATION cHIEF ALLAN ADAM 
chief Adam posted this on his facebook wall. I hoped he would remove it after he got some perspective or sober second thought.  Alas, after more than a week it was still posted on his wall.

He is a First Nation chief, a leader, who we should hold to a higher standard of conduct. I believe there is no excuse or rationale for this type of public display in social media. What is he modelling for the youth in our community?  Personally, I believe this horrific era in history should never be mocked and most certainly not by any leader.  If a federal or provincial politician did this there would be an immediate public outcry.

Indeed, if he thinks there is nothing wrong with posting this image on a social media site how can anyone take him seriously? He is making a mockery of our first nation and if we allow our chief to display this behavior without any ramification from council, we too are culpable.

UPDATE;
I've been told that it is no longer on his facebook, I can't confirm it because I don't see his page. However, he did the right thing by removing it.
