While Canada’s reconciliation project with Indigenous people is showing signs of progress, it's moving much slower than many had hoped.
Wilson said she fears that elderly Indigenous people may not live to see reconciliation realized.
While both Indigenous Watchdog and Beyond 94 say the first call to action — which demands efforts to reduce the number of Indigenous children in foster care — is making gains, Sinclair said it is not doing so fast enough. Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Mark Miller, who has been learning the Mohawk language, cautions that while he has a view of where the reconciliation project is, it's up to Indigenous people to decide where that effort truly stands.
"The work that governments are doing is actually taking root, but not for them, but for the next generation and I think that is something that fuels my work," he said. "It certainly gives me hope as a minister." Hereditary Chief Phil Lane Jr., centre, joins other Indigenous chiefs and elders in leading thousands of people in a protest march against the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in Burnaby, B.C., on Saturday March 10, 2018. Marie Wilson said she fears that many elders will not live to see all of the 94 calls to action implemented.
Blackstock said that while the federal government has provided funding to help locate unmarked graves, it has not funded the DNA testing required to link the remains found in those graves back to families.
