Well done, Ailsa. I, too, feel not qualified to write or comment about this sad portion of the history of the founding of our country - as well as the unfathomable events that continued for so long. However, I believe that we as a nation are now ready to confront these truths and work with the Indigenous People to correct the wrongs and create a more equal and just relationship with them. Let's hope we can continue on this path of reconciliation, and not make it a brief period where this is in our awareness and then it disappears.
Thanks Ruth Anne. Yes, agree. Let's make it stick. And let's commit to learning more and understanding our history - even if it is tragic and shameful. I'm hoping we can turn the page in a way that includes respect, tolerance and humility.
