To the First Nations and Indigenous of Canada. I, on behalf of all foreign peoples who reside unjustly in your sacred lands, sincerely apologize for the atrocities committed towards your ancestors. By now, I presume that the memories of residential schools, Indian hospitals, the White Paper proposal, and many other unrecorded unjust acts are still fresh in the minds of today’s First Nations. Despite efforts to compensate for these acts, the Indigenous of Canada are still in a difficult situation. No amount of money or the sincerest apology will make up for the past, and for the culture we so earnestly tried to destroy. I am in no position to attempt to apologize, much less expect forgiveness. So in place, I implore and beseech that the First Nations of Canada merely understand and accept our intention to reconcile for our mistakes. Should it take ten, fifty, a hundred, or even a thousand years, I hope that we will be able to do something good for the First Nations of Canada. I do not know how, but should I cease to exist and return to my Creator by then, I hope my descendants shall follow suit, and make a brighter future for the Indigenous people of Canada.
