This topic is quite relevant this week -- the final publications of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission have been released. Here is a news link to the story; it includes a summary (and a full link) to the Report's 94 Recommendations -- it's worth having a look.

Leave a comment below with your thoughts on either the "Eskimo Tags" or the Truth and Reconciliation recommendations.
