Dear Editor:

I feel shame for all my Native peoples of Canada. Shame on us for not volunteering our time, knowledge, monies and love to our youth.

Has anyone of my Native peoples of Canada…

Ten years ago I attended the funeral of my Uncle Jim who had been a soldier in the Second World War, and I found myself crying tears as big as golf balls. Mom cried too, but her grief was more understandable than mine.
