Treaties and reconciliation won't solve problems, only buy time. God has given each race a territory, so there's no solution for those who settle on a territory not given to them in the first place. Things don't depend on the colonists or on the natives, but on the Power that rules the world.DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7155086611992337391.post-74902607310975823812018-11-04T09:03:57.601-05:002018-11-04T09:03:57.601-05:00Our community just lost one of our most respected ...Our community just lost one of our most respected elders, named Skip Ross. <br /><br />The city doesn't really seem to acknowledge the First Nations People, but their heritage is a big deal in the surrounding area. Many of my clients back at the end of my working life were First Nations elders. I loved those people. They had so much knowledge to share. One of my clients told me that the road I live on is a very ancient trail leading up to the Ottawa River. He said it was the Hwy 17 of it's day! Now who else would have that knowledge!? I hope and pray that the oral tradition of passing the history is being carried forth. <br /><br />Someone remarked to me just the other day that there are no First Nations or people of color on the murals. Sad that they don't seem to matter.
