    the "Kelowna Accord" of 2006 (wch was not implemented) was intended to correct the shortfall in aboriginal health care, welfare funding, and educational opportunity.
     The Accord was endorsed by Prime Minister Paul Martin, but was never endorsed by his successor, Stephen Harper

    150,000 children torn from their parents and placed in "residential schools".
    6000 children died. Survivors suffered unspeakable physical,sexual,emotional abuse.
