Is anyone keeping track of how many Apologies have been given to #FirstNations #Indigenous peoples in Canada?
Or more importantly..changes that have come as a measure of amends for acknowledged wrongs commensurate with the level of harm for what’s being apologised for?

I understand that the #Indian #ResidentialSchools were but one component of the overall Xanadian Gov strategy to remove #FirstNations from their Traditional Territories for the use & benefit of settlers & exclude FN’s from any benefit of wealth generated
This exclusion is successfully being perpetuated today by the Crown Govts of Canada
PM’s Harper & Trudeau have apologised for what has happened like it was from a far off long ago era
#ResidentialSchools amends must far more than “Healing” but include the political dynamic

Today was a difficult day to witness. RCMP enforced an injunction to force them to give access to the Coastal GasLink pipeline that would deliver natural gas to the $40 bill, under construction expansion terminal in Kitimat. #wetsuweten #aboriginaltitle #pipeline 
The problem is, the office of the Wet’suwet’en (hereditary chiefs) have jurisdiction to the land in question, and don’t want the project. They’ve made it explicit they want to protect the last unspoiled corners of their territory.
The Wet’suwet’en have never given up rights or title to their land and have never entered treaty with the government. Despite that, police forced Wet’suwet’en people and their supporters to leave their land and at least 11 people were arrested.
