I'd like to look at a commitment to co-existence with aboriginal governments that really acknowledges and has the governments at the table when you do international agreements, because it would protect trade agreements. Right now our lands aren't protected. Canada is doing agreements that give other countries jurisdiction over our land, our water, our plants. That is because Canada is not recognizing the nationhood of aboriginal peoples.
The other thing I would like to see is a decolonization program and Canada-wide education on what that is, starting with service providers working along with community in that process. People are put in a system. They don't recognize what it is. Even me--a lot of times I say, “Oh my God, I'm doing it again”, because we're used to being service providers, and when we are, even in our own aboriginal agencies, we'll get caught up in being the provider. We have the authority. We make the mandates and all this. Decolonizing is giving back to the community, co-existing, and having partnerships where everybody has that cultural safety, and it is the people who are deciding what their culture is and who they are.
