Penticton Indian Band 9 July 08
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip
The one thing the Government of Canada needs to understand is that as Indigenous People we enjoy undiminished rights to self-determination. Within the Sprit and Intent of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People. The Government of Canada needs to respect our human rights and our land rights and adjust its response and behaviour accordingly. And in the event that this requires legislative and policy reform then the sooner that the Government embraces this then the better off we will all be.
Control of Foster Care of our children belongs to us.
As Indigenous People, I think that we need to understand what our responsibilities are to ourselves, to our children and grandchildren. We must look to the wisdom of our elders and ancestors. We need to work together collectively to create a better future for our children.
