The preservation of indigenous is a nice to have, but will not make any improvement to the quality of life of indigenous people, either on reserve or off.

I lived for two years in Pikangikum, Ontario. Everyone there speaks Ojibway, but this doesn't keep Pikangikum from having a high suicide rate (one of the highest in the world). It didn't save the lives of the family who died in a house fire there last year. it doesn't help anyone get a job, or overcome an addiction.

This editorial serves only to demonstrate how 'progressive' the Globe and Mail is. It does no service to indigenous people.

You really need to do better than this.
