Discuss the importance of recognizing and respecting the First Nations community in Canada, and how it can contribute to achieving Canada's high destiny.
How many people who comment here have friends who are from the First Nations? How many here have lived on a First Nations' Reserve let alone visited one? How many here have visited any of the First Nations' Friendship Centers that dot the land? How many here have attend a powwow and enjoyed seeing traditional dancers and heard amazing drumming? How many have felt the warmth and hospitality of the people of the First Nations?  I have. And I am proud of our national treasure, the People of the First Nations of Canada. Not until we deal with our racist attitudes towards these people will Canada ever achieve its high destiny.  There will always be this nasty blight upon the country.  'Out, out, damn spot."
