Thank you.
I think all of us who are indigenous and non-indigenous strive to have healthy communities with healthy people in them. I totally hear you. I sense the emotion on the subject of being treated with respect, being treated honourably and being treated fairly. History hasn't shown that.
Is that part of what is making it difficult for you to accept that the Métis would have any type of rights? Is it because of the situation your band or tribe is in, or has been in, and how they've been treated?
