Exploring what acknowledgment means after there has been harm and how to work towards reconciliation as a faith community.

Harry Lafond, elder from Muskeg Lake Cree Nation and Deacon with the Prince Albert Roman Catholic Diocese talks about the past and future for Indigenous families. In 1867 with the passage of the Indian Act the rights of Indigenous parents were taken away which has led to great harm. The government of Canada Bill C-92 changes the legal situation and provides for Indigenous people to be responsible for their own children’s welfare.
