| Scope and content | File contains opening remarks by Stan McKay from Fisher River, Manitoba. McKay relates that his expectations for the Commission are not as high as previous presenters as his life experiences, including a stint in residential school, have made him cynical about such endeavours. He also expresses grave doubts about the presence of political will to make changes in Canada. That said, McKay expresses his hope that the Commission can be an educational opportunity for all Canadians, Aboriginal and Non, to right the wrongs of the past and work for a better future. McKay also expresses his concerns about the environment, and appreciation to the creator for being allowed to meet so many friends from across the country. | |
