We are\u00a0deeply concerned<\/strong>\u00a0about First Nations and our relationship with them. We acknowledge that they were in North America long before it was “discovered” by Europeans.<\/p>

In Canada our treatment of indigenous peoples has been\u00a0clouded with prejudice<\/strong>\u00a0over many centuries of history. They have been viewed as a lesser breed, and not worthy of the benefits we as Canadians take for granted. We have\u00a0reneged on our treaty arrangements<\/strong>\u00a0and in every respect, they have become the\u00a0\u201cinconvenient Indian.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>

There are\u00a0issues of justice<\/strong>\u00a0and what it means to\u00a0love our neighbour<\/strong>.
