First of all I'm using the term natives, which I haven't been told is offensive, and seems to be a fine short word to describe the indigenous people of Canada, including the First Nations, Inuit and Métis.
I believe the natives were treated very badly by the European settlers, of which I am descended. (I am also slightly native.) I think that displacing the natives, or making treaties for their territory that they didn't always understand or weren't worth it, were wrong. I also believe that the germs that killed a lot of the natives were a catastrophe, though it wasn't intentional. I think the time a governer in Canada gave smallpox-infested blankets to natives was particularly evil.
I would like to see the natives do well in Canada. I would like them to come out of poverty, increase their population to pre-Columbian levels or more, to have less crime in their neighbourhoods and on their reserves, and to be less likely to have criminal records. I would like reserve band councils not to be corrupt, for clean drinking water and all other services to be available on reserves and for the sexual abuse of girls (or boys) by their fathers (or anyone else) to end.
I would also like natives to be more prominent in society, such as business leaders or MPs or other roles in government. I think the appointment of her excellency the right honourable Mary Simon as goverer general of Canada was a particularly good move.
I would like the European people of Canada and the natives to be reconciled, and amends made for all the harms done, such as land displacement, deaths from disease, racism, and residential schools. This may involve giving large amounts of money to native groups, but I think it mostly involves being sorry and apologising and treating natives better. Maybe other immigrants to Canada can help, too.
It may be that provincial or federal authorities should assert authority in native reserves to stop corruption and sexual abuse. I don't mean these have to be white people. I'd be ideal if they were natives. But, mostly, I guess we have to ask the natives what they want and see if we can do it.
I have heard that the federal government had to pay a large, multi-billion dollar settlement to native families as a result of a Canadiani Human Rights Commission ruling. I hope this helps, it sounds like it would be enough, but it may not be enough and it may not go to things that actually help the natives.
I am also concerned about missing and murdered indigenous women and girls, and I would have preferred that the federal commission looking into it was a Royal commission so they could have made arrests.
I have noticed that natives, despite all this mistreatment, are still significantly concerned with how we, as a country, use the land. This is very good and selfless of the natives and I think we should listen to them. Maybe not exactly all the things they say, but I think we should listen to them on not polluting or over-exploiting our land and natural resources. I think it's a very Christian thing to do, too.
