Ms. Brown said. “You are going to spend $53-million to do another study? They owe us more. They owe the families more. And it is a huge shame. There is so much at stake. I have put my life on the line for this issue.”

Maa'm with the utmost respect we do not 'owe' you more, why doesn't the well over 1.4million First Nations people chip in $100 each and there you have more than enough for a decade long study.   After all it is important enough for you, is it not?

 I feel for your missing loved ones and the people that are left behind and still hurting.  But we both know this study is not meant to self incriminate which will be necessary to be honest; as a result if it cannot blame the white man it will be buried.  

The violence and substance abuse on the reserves while having some causality in history is no longer sufficient to deflect any blame from the individuals caught up in it.   If your child is growing up in this, it is the parent that is irresponsible for not moving.
