This is what compassionate people do. They respect, honour, and help others, regardless of opinions. They dont demand to be respected in return. But they do earn their respect. Besides, its important for everyone to understand this: “People must remember, the money the federal government gives to First Nations isn’t part of taxes or a gift, it’s based on agreements made hundreds of years ago.” This is a meeting of the Pikangikum Working Group, a gathering of Ontario professionals who give their own time and dime — even the meeting space is donated — to assist one of the province’s most impoverished First Nations, a settlement of about 2,800 people who live in 450 homes, most of which have no running water or indoor toilets. Everything in the working group is done in consultation with the community, based on needs and what the group thinks is achievable.
