Globe & Mail article: Aboriginal reconciliation: An open letter to Stephen Harper

Monday, April 30, 2012

 

The ASHS office would like to share a poignant article written by Richard Wagamese, a B.C.-based columnist and author, and recipient of the 2012 National Aboriginal Achievement Award for Media and Communications. Wagamese penned an open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper which addresses the recent and "astoundingly hurtful" cuts to Aboriginal organizations such as the National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO) and Native Women’s Association of Canada’s health program as well as the ending of the Aboriginal Healing Foundation's mandate.
