I certainly appreciate those comments. You're right that it would be the people who have worked and lived in that field. My own daughter-in-law's mother was killed with an axe. I can't even begin to imagine what that would have been like for her when she was 16. Even though I might not have been a victim of violence myself, it's all around us. Even if we're professional aboriginal women, it's all around us. I worry about my grandchildren and what effect it will have. Will my daughter-in-law be a good parent because of what she had to live through and the violence she saw with her parents?
I really appreciate your comments. They are in the right direction. The people who have lived that would be the best people. We at AFN are promoting that the plan has to be in place to begin to deal with the situation.
