Justice Spotlight: Aboriginal Truth and Reconciliation

CCG is studying issues relating to land rights, self-government, and economic development for First Nations Peoples. We are seeking ways to engage with First Nations Peoples, to develop friendships and to better understand their struggles. We are walking with them on the path of healing, justice and reconciliation. And we are advocating for justice where injustices reign.

Multimedia Presentation:

Prepared by the CRC's Aboriginal Ministries Committee for National Aboriginal Day, this four-minute presentation echoes the words of the Prime Minister's Apology on June 11, 2008. It is ideal for a meditative pre-service or offertory segment. Special thanks to Anita Van Zuemeren and Sam Cooper.
