Learning about it is fine, it's a part of Canada's history and you can't change that.
What does need to change is it being constantly brought up and attempts made to continually force financial restitution for it. Have one final kick at the can, then close the matter both financially and legally. No more court cases over it, no more demands for apologies and no more demands for money.
Once that is done, we can move on to fixing the rest of the issues that exist. Mainly the reserve system and the systemic corruption and financial mismanagement that goes on.
One of the things that is continually brought up is that FN people feel they don't have the same rights as other Canadians. It's probably time to change that and provide all FN people with the same rights as other Canadians. This would include the removal of the exceptions and additional rights granted to them though.
