As we celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada, we recognize and reflect on:
Our privilege to live, work and play on Indigenous land,
The need to share natural resources revenues to close the gaps in socio-economic conditions that are unacceptable and have resulted from colonial influence,
The need to educate all Canadians about cultural genocide and the need to eradicate systemic racism from this country's healthcare, legal, education, political and other institutions
The incredible diversity of Indigenous cultures in Canada and the outstanding contributions of Indigenous people to Canadian society, and
Our shared responsibility to work towards reconciliation every day.
We are all treaty people.
