| Scope and content | File contains opening remarks by Menno Wiebe of the Mennonite Central Committee. Wiebe discusses how Mennonite aid workers overseas always get asked what they are doing for the First peoples of their own country, and how this often sparks their interest in the struggles of Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Wiebe also relates what he sees as signs of hope for Aboriginal peoples, and how they have successfully organized against hostile state and economic forces in the recent past at places like James Bay. Wiebe also expresses his gratitude for being allowed to participate in the Commission, and states he is there to listen to the Elders, and that non-Aboriginal society in general needs to learn from the Elders. | |
