If you find Indigenous issues to be baffling and confusing, you’re not alone. Federal politicians and bureaucrats have had 50 years since Indian Affairs became a government department to address the vexing issues facing Canada’s Indigenous people. It’s reasonable to say most fair-minded Canadians are not impressed with the results. If we want meaningful change, it has to come from us—the first people and settlers.
Reconciliation cannot happen without us.
There are a number of ways you can become involved. The first and most important is to become informed. You can become part of the MAWG family by signing up for email alerts. And you can make your voice heard as part of Our Voices series.
And of course, you can helps support MAWG's mission by making a donation.
