Restitution and Proper compensation for the sexual and physical abuse, and much more for the murdered missing native children..
As for the all you racist people on this site who make fun of our Chief, Elders and others, shame on you all! . Your ignorance and lack of respect will be your downfall!
As for teh above statistics "About 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Métis children were taken from their families to attend the schools from as early as the 19th century to 1996."
