The federal government’s decision to hire the Netherlands-based International Commission on Missing Persons to engage with Indigenous communities has been met with concerns, including that the $2 million contract appears to duplicate work that Indigenous experts were already taking on.We deliver the local news you need in these turbulent times on weekdays at 3 p.m.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
From there, she said the organization worked through the foreign service and ultimately submitted a proposal to Ottawa. “I’m optimistic that we can provide options that maybe have not really been thought about,” she added. Murray, who is a member of the Kahnesatake Mohawk Nation, said an agreement published last week shows that federal officials will be able to provide input and make edits to drafts.
North said that while there may be a “perceived conflict of interest” stemming from the federal government’s role in the arrangement and the fact that it funded the church-run residential school system, she said the commission’s work will be independent “even though it might look like that optically.”North, who said she views herself as someone who will act as a helper to communities, said she was brought on to ensure the work was informed by Indigenous knowledge and protocol.
North said she plans to reach out to both the centre and Murray’s office. She said there is a willingness to amend the agreement.
