O'siyo Brothers and Sister!
The Tory plan in Parliament for First Nations
was barely worth one line in the throne speech that defined the new
government's path....
The new government "will seek to improve opportunity for all Canadians,
including Aboriginal Peoples and new immigrants," it said.
That's it.
Not one word was uttered about aboriginal housing, health or education
issues.
Not one single reference was made regarding funding promises made by the
Liberals.
From where I sit I don't believe this was an accidental slight, I
believe it reflected the true nature of a beast that is just marking
it's
new territory.
I also think it will take concerted pressure from a united aboriginal
community to wring one single concession. I hope... I pray I am wrong.

"This is our land; this is
our home."
"We gave up 95 percent of our land with guns at our heads. In return
there were very few things the government was obligated to do, most of
which they have never done. They have never honored their treaties. We
do not feel that they want us to live."
~~~ Fay Givens, Executive Director of American Indian Services Inc. |
