In my opinion, as a Canadian of Metis, Ojibway and European ancestry, this article is both sad and hopeful....thank you for Ms McMonagle and others like her who undertake to mentor our Indigenous youth who struggle to overcome the past....the future for Indigenous people in Canada is through education....one student at a time....re-naming government buildings in Ottawa or speaking an Indigenous language in Parliament may reflect political posturing, but in the end contributes nothing to the reality of  Indigenous people advancing in their individual lives....an excellent article that should be read by all Canadians who care about this country and our Indigenous citizens....
