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.
