Trudeau breaking UNDRIP promises brings warning of '20 Standing Rocks'

Brent Patterson

| November 7, 2016

The Liberal party promised in their election campaign to support the work of reconciliation and continue the process of truth telling and healing. So far, they're failing.

"We will work alongside provinces and territories, and with First Nations, the Métis Nation, and Inuit, to enact the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, starting with the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples," the party stated on Oct. 19, 2015.

The Liberals appeared to make good on the latter part of that promise on May 9, 2016, when Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett and Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould announced at the United Nations in New York that Canada fully endorsed UNDRIP.

As we approach the Carleton University Art Gallery, the evocative scent of sweetgrass and sage wafts up the stairs.

My daughter and I slip off our shoes before padding into this somber space held sacred to the memory of murdered and missing indigenous women.
