Government Apology

Letter:

What should take place with the $350 million is to compensate all the victims of the boarding schools days, otherwise DIAND will hire consultants who will eat away at the money and Aboriginal people won't benefit from the funds at all. Very little money will filter into the Aboriginal community.

Windspeaker readers speak out on the government's "apology"

You can't put a price tag on what Native people endured. Three hundred and fifty million is not a good amount. There is no price tag, because right now the cycle still continues. Native people have the hightest rate of suicide and there is a lot of addictions among our people. And one of the saddest things is the governement just can't get away with putting a price tag on that. I believe Creator has a way of making people pay. And one of these days this race is going to pay for what they did to ours."
