Official Response to Indian Residential School Burials
Thank you to the committee for crafting this response.
|
|
We would like to begin by acknowledging the Indigenous Peoples of all the lands that we are on today. We would like to take a moment to acknowledge the importance of the lands, which we each call home. We do this to reaffirm our commitment and responsibility to improving relationships between nations and our own understanding of local Indigenous peoples and their cultures. From coast to coast to coast, we acknowledge the ancestral and unceded territory of all the Inuit, Métis, and First Nations people that call this land home.

Bridging Community Call-Out
|
We have had a request to assist in bridging community between indigenous peoples and forensic science. If we have any indigenous (First Nations, Metis or Inuit) forensic scientists/experts who are interested in helping out, please contact Dr. Kona Williams.
