Thank you for this article. Succinct. Easy to read. Not so easy to put into action, but it’s clear. The time for making change is now. Decolonize…there is no other option.

There is much more to this story. It includes continuing deals between church, state, royal family holdings as well as red apple Indians who many hold the positions of elected council. When a person sells out his / her own brother/sister or another tribesman the greatest of treachery is committed. The TRUTH part of the Reconciliation movement has been negated and the other part is a sham .. quick silencer to pay off those who may or may not have suffered. Look at the Indian Act. Native people are still considered ‘wards of the court’. Much more here going on. The settlers are no longer the ghost face and therefore the address here must include giant Asian, Indian from across the oceans and other immigrants into the lands once referred to as Turtle Island. The missing Indigenous women is linked to the land grab deals still going on. Complacancy and a sedated conciousness keeps anyone who isn’t interested in their children’s future from getting actively involved much less caring about the Indigenous people who live in worse conditions than the third world and who are mistreated by their own councils. There is nothing democratic about the majority of reservations. Give back to the First Peoples what was taken… period. No such thing as ‘crown land’ anymore. THAT is ALL Indian land. Lets start with that and ensure the traditional Elders and traditional Chiefs are the caretakers of the land. CARETAKERS not exploiters.
