was wondering if somewhere in all of this the ‘integration of the non-aboriginal’ into the aboriginal first nations is on the agenda. Am thinking that if we approach it from the view that if the new people worked just a bit to integrating themselves into the rich aboriginal culture and ways that were here and healthy, thriving even, before we got here, maybe we could leap frog a bunch of ’stuff’ around this sensitive topic. Assuming that the minority needs to integrate into the majority could be the subliminal stumbling block. or not?
no, I am not aboriginal, born of immigrants who came here around 1950
