EDMONTON – Australian Aboriginal leaders in Alberta this week say Canadian First Nations need to keep pushing for change even as they celebrate the release of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report.
Adrian Burragubba, leader of two Australian aboriginal groups, says Australia held its own inquiry back in the 1990s into the removal of aboriginal children into state-run schools.
Burragubba says not much has changed for his people despite a massive report, a national “Sorry Day” and formal apology from the government.
