I think Trudeau's visit indicates the federal government understands the idea of human dignity and how it relates to First Nations people in Canada.  With the exception of Paul Martin, who seemed to grasp the big picture, this is unusual and so very welcome. Now, the government needs to follow up with the kind of reconciliation that respects aboriginal rights. The sincere words are important, and a first step, but the actions need to follow before another 150 years passes.
