A step in the right direction’: Canadian Medical Association issues apology to Indigenous Peoples across Canada – Saltwire
September 20, 2024
When apologies are issued by organizations or governments for harms against Indigenous peoples in our country, we can be left wondering whether the words said will be followed by effective action.
“Yes, well, that’s the question, isn’t it?” said Glenn Wheeler, a lawyer, journalist, and Indigenous rights activist from the Mi’kmaq community of York Harbour on the West Coast of Newfoundland.
The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) recently issued an apology for their role and the role of the medical profession in past and ongoing harms to Indigenous Peoples in our country via a live-streamed ceremony on Sept. 18.
