That is the same kind of condescending logic that I've heard all my life. Just put up your bootstraps like everyone else, forgive, forget, get on with it and life marches on .... just like for everyone else.

What that logic always fails to understand is that unlike the rest of Canada, Native people have had to start with a handicap and at the same time the establishment swung a tire iron to the kneecap to never allow us to stand up properly. Then Canada has the nerve to stand over us and ask us why we can't stand up on our feet.

There are answers to all these problems and I agree from the point of view that this is a problem that will take generations to solve. In the meantime, don't rush people along to give up everything in their lives just to satisfy the country's guilty conscious.
