Statement by Honourable Murray Sinclair on the Pope’s Apology

Reconciliation requires action, not passiveness. The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples specifically calls for action to restore culture, beliefs, and traditions destroyed through past actions. Failure allows the destructive agency to live with the benefit of those past misdeeds. For the children and descendants of Survivors, it is not enough that you have stopped abusing them; you must act to help them recover and commit to never doing this again.
