Why does the mining companies try to use the courts when the Supreme Court of Canada has already ruled that anything that remotely affects/effects an aborignal peoples reserve, territory… will trigger the Consultation and Accommodation aspect which brings in the Probable Impact-Impact Statements in the Planning Stages of any venture, even cutting the grass can trigger the S.C.C. ruling.

It is time overdue, that Canada and Canadians accept what our ancestors left for us to inherit, and bring about the Justice BACK to these People’s.

It is time overdue, for Canada’s educational institutions to teach accurate, truth in the school’s and to bring this on from Primary Grades, forwards, so that Our Next Generations, will grow up without all this racism and inaccuracies that our white dominant ancestors bred via their educational, one sided textbooks, which are based on half truths at best. May I recommend the schools start off teaching in about grade six .. Shirley Sterlings book My Name is Sheepeetza. This is an excellently written book on Indigenous Children, trying to survive the damages brought on by the Churches and the Governments thru colonization in those dreaded, Residential Schools. Those schools were anything and everything except, education… and its time we, as Canadians stand up and realize, we owe so much to These Peoples, most importantly, we Owe Them ALL Our Respect! No white man would have managed to survive the winters here if it were not for Them, much less the scurvy… not only this, but They also fought alongside us… in all the wars… and They suffered far worse fate then we did, for their populations were not that plentiful. In the 70′s the age of mortality for most living on Reservations ( concentration camps in my opinion ) was mostly 34 years of age! They lived in poorer standards of living then most white society members too. It’s time we give them back also, the Land that the Hudson Bay Company stole from them, and also the Lands the Churches also stole and sold out from under them… if you care enough for Humanity, then why, why can we not start changing Canada, and giving These Magnificent, Beautiful People’s back THEIR Respect, THEIR Cultures, THEIR RIGHTS under OUR ( yes, they are our responsibilities also to with hold these Treaties ) TREATIES with These Peoples… I keep hoping Canadians, will educate themselves, and their children… I can not do this alone…

Hi Hughie. It sounds like a really amazing expedition, and the personal and biographical connections will make it rewarding and very interesting to others (especially me). I sent you an individual response to your message, if anybody else has any suggestions, please feel free post them here, or contact me through the site for Hughie Ahearn's e-mail address.

Good morning, i am in a group of about six people, all related to Captain Peter Bernard, an explorer during the 1913-1916 CAE Canadian Artic Expedition, My great great uncle Peter was lost in 1916 and has never been found, we plan to trace some of his steps on Banks Island and hope to find any remains or at the very least have a monument put in place to honour his accomplishment, we plan to take a month to do some of this in July – August 2010, can you give me any help in how to get finicial funding to help cover the cost, at the time Captain Peter got lost he was delivering mail for the United States Postal service. We are just a small group who got together one night and said lets do this…any information you could provide would be very much appreciated..Thank you
