Forty-two actions I knot into this hopeful procedure, as mindful plant, subaltern, refertilizing the space of the English language’s breath-taking verse. Bound up by the very craft with which it tutored my breath, Shakespeare’s apostrophizing now props challenge of fairness. Fully adopt the UN declaration on Indigenous peoples’ rights, I echo callers, into weathers of us/you. That declaration should frame strategy for reconciliatory practice. Work it through together and issue, on Canadians’ moony behalf, a Royal Proclamation of Reconciliation. The proclamation will forsake excuse-making concepts like the Doctrine of Discovery and terra nullius. Recognize mutuality, re-establish Treaty relationships, reconcile treaty law to minding Aboriginal law, hold nations partners in Confederation. Affirm the yearning to redress—in writing. Write a Covenant witnessing this spirit, thereby furthering the spirit of the Settlement Agreement. Unlearn thought that overwrites Aboriginal sovereignty. A moral and spiritual pitch, that social justice groups and churches get karmic: Indigenous self-determination’s not determined by God. Neither He, nor his Ancestors, sympathized with terra nullius. To build equity, create institutes of Indigenous law. Publish government legal opinions involving anything impacting Indigenous claims and treaty rights. Governments, adopt legal principles that accept, when occupation has been established, the Indigenous claim on territory. Once that title has been affirmed Aboriginal, parties calling for any limits to title rights are obligated to say why. Form an oversight body which monitors progress on these post-apology #goals: a council, established in compact with Indigenous organizations. Endow a National Reconciliation Trust with the funding it needs to advance the cause. Provide the council with information it seeks; report formally on the “State of Aboriginal Peoples” and the advancement of the cause of reconciliation. Also, educate public servants on Aboriginal history. (As if I was not already sick over my fathers’ constitutional bigotry, my fathers’ Catholic trespass on First Nations tires my Marguerite-Bourgeoysed heart: hear testimony of children, of remembering adults, breathing white men’s unholy actions. Our Catholic guilt isn’t repentance.) Families call directly upon the pope to issue an apology. They invite the Vatican to declare how their servants weaponized Christ to break families’ bonds. Apologies matter: the congregations must listen and feel their own troubled ministries.
