2017-11-21 Prof. Robert Shepherd: Improving the relationship with the Indigenous peoples

Dr. Robert Shepherd gave us to understand that a good grasp of the current state of relations between Indigenous and non-indigenous peoples of this country should precede his advertised presentation on Indigenous youth resilience which he was ready to give us on another occasion. His current work is on reconciliation and mutual respect in the relationships between Indigenous and non-indigenous. This involves awareness of each other, acknowledgement of and atonement for harm done, and actions to change the behaviors. In Dr. Shepherds opinion reconciliation is doable but it will take a commitment and time.
