Prime Minister Stephen Harper laid the groundwork Wednesday for a new relationship with Canada’s first nations with a full and frank avowal of the harm done by the residential school system.

For the first nations leaders invited to speak in Parliament, his statement carried the hope that a dark chapter of our shared history is closing and that they are being welcomed as part of a brighter future for all Canadians.

PRESS CONFERENCE – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 20 2008

Good day everyone and thank you for being here.
My name is Gladys Radek from the Gitxsan Wet su wit’en territory in northern British Columbia. My clan is the Lax il u or Small Frog clan which follows my mother’s matrilineal line. We are here today to introduce the national Walk4Justice which has been in the works since January 2008. This walk came to me as a vision in September 2007 while walking down the Highway of Tears to honour the second anniversary of my missing niece, Tamara Lynn Chipman, who disappeared without a trace. She was last seen just out of Prince Rupert, BC, September 21, 2005. To this day she has not been found and there is no closure for our family.
