Letter to the editor: Where is the vision ?

Notes: "Now that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's work is done and history is rewritten with the hindsight and sensitivity afforded liberal opinion, might I ask what has been achieved by this exercise ? Yes, we can 'move forward in reconciliation', but not a word beyond pious platitudes is uttered as to the direction. Where, may I ask, is the vision of how indigenous people will thrive in a multicultural Canada with its knowledge-based economy ? Pace those whose consciences are now eased, but I suspect the preoccupation with the past fostered by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission is in truth irrelevant and possibly detrimental to the future of indigenous peoples. We can certainly bemoan what was done, but that does not help the future". [Text of entire article.]
