How better to join the two together than a national holiday ?

I think this could be a better kind of remembrance day...

We're not guilted out enough all through the year, we need a special day to wring our hands in anguish over the crimes of our forefathers?

You can spend your day how you want. I would go to a pow-wow and get to know some people.

At one of our projects we had a large aboriginal driver from BFI Waste Management who came by several times a week. One day, by way of making conversation, I said "hey, George, what does BFI stand for?"
He looks at me, points both of his thumbs at his chest, and says "Big **** Indian." And then he grins broadly, and I couldn't help laughing.
