I know, I overheard father talking about it. do you really think they care though
did you hear? apparently the government is being more considerate of us
Keira I know mother knows more about this so maybe ask her
mother! just the person I was looking for. I wanted to ask what you think. is the government being fair to us?
well as you know for more than 100 years they have forcefully separated indigenous families. they would send the kids to residential schools where they were treated horribly.
however, now they funded over $200 million in support to indigenous communities.
oh so the conversation I overheard was true then. but do you actually believe what they say?
I have faith darling. I don't trust them 100% but we well just wait and see. as long as we have a voice now and what we say matter then yes I believe.
I'm glad to know. thanks that answered the question I had.
we have rights and have sovereignty now
the indigenous people and Canada are both sovereign nations.
Keira had questions about the governments intentions and if they were being fair.
summary
her mother told her a bit about the history and let her decide what she thought.
