All of us in humanity are imperfect beings to some degree, however, at least in my view, it is their right and their will to self determination, to preserve their culture and their land and to reclaim what has been taken from them as a result of Canadian confederacy.   Were they in reality not our first Canadians whose values, forms of government and economies we collectively disrespected and cast aside before we tried to further oppress them by robbing them of their cultural identity and even their children?  Today, we can choose to reconcile these wrongs and support First Nations and heal our nation.
