You certainly provided some important insight, and I appreciate it.
My family's journey to Canada started in Nova Scotia at Pier 21. My mom got off a boat in 1957 from Hungary. The boat obviously didn't leave from Hungary as it's a landlocked country, but that's where they came from. We're grateful to both the original people and Canada to have a safe place to live, so I'm very grateful for that.
Do you feel these adjustments would be as inclusive as possible, given that the indigenous culture in Canada is probably just as diverse as the people who are coming to live here?
My mother came from Hungary and my father from Holland, and apart from being next to each in the dictionary, they're probably not that similar. There are countries that are even more diverse, obviously, but so is the culture of indigenous peoples in Canada.
Do you feel we'd be as inclusive as possible? If somebody was doing a ceremony in Pacific Canada, in the northern parts of Canada or Nova Scotia, do you think that all cultures would be observed or included adequately in the ceremony?
