Orange Shirt Day, or the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, is a time to reflect on our residential school survivors and the ones who never made it home, but it’s also a good time to look within ourselves as Onkwehón:we to figure out ways to better protect our children and demonstrate more of that love we all sorely need.

In 2015, the Liberal Party of Canada’s election platform included the promise to implement all Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action and to endorse the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).  Once in power, the Trudeau Liberal government advanced a domestic interpretation of UNDRIP through Bill C-15, the United Nations Declaration Act and a government-wide National Action Plan that applies to First Nations, Metis, and Inuit, with a list of 181 federal measures/actions in five chapters.  In the First Nations chapter, the plan gives public notice that for “Canada’s laws to fulfill the UN Declaration, the Indian Act must be repealed.”  For the past nine years, the Trudeau government has already started the process to end the Indian Act band/reserve system by transitioning all First Nations into municipal self-government with the legal status of a “natural person” (this is the same legal definition that applies to corporations)
