Aboriginality: Living Together
Channel: Greg Neurolanis
Date: 2013-12-19

CBC News wanted to examine the state of the relationship between Aboriginals and other Canadians, forming this panel to discuss issues in Sudbury and northeastern Ontario. They explored the future of that relationship and possible solutions to the problems which divide us.

Big corporations are moving in, abusing land, exploiting resources and leaving Aboriginals with little financial gain to show for it. The government barely communicates with them (despite self-serving public announcements to do so.) Of course, all the Harper Government cares about is big corporate interests. Money is spent towards resolving the economic problems, most of which is swallowed up by bureaucracy, ministerial staff and their studies into the problems which then have no funding left to aid.

Obviously, the issue of residential schools also came up. Numerous positive thoughts and suggestions were also raised. 

This video features only a portion of the conversation. For more, check out the link below:
