Tuesday 25th

Good Morning,

Today you will be looking at two case studies with regards to contending loyalties form Canada. Read the intro information below.

Reconciling can mean coming to terms with the past or mending a broken relationship. When two friends have a serious disagreement, an act of reconciliation can help resolve their differences and bring them together again. Similarly, when peoples or nations disagree, or when their nationalist loyalties lead them to pursue contending goals, an attitude of reconciliation can bring them together and enable them to coexist in peace.But when two contending nations cannot achieve reconciliation, the outcome can be serious. The inability to resolve differences may lead to damaging political struggles and even outright war.

Self-determination is a right which 
belongs to peoples. It does not belong 
to states. It is a right of all peoples. It 
is universal and non-divisible; that is, 
either you have it or you do not. It is 
not a right that is given to peoples by 
someone else. Please understand, you 
may have to fight to exercise this right, 
but you do not negotiate for the right of 
self-determination because it is yours 
already.
— Matthew Coon Come, Cree 
leader and former national chief 
of the Assembly of First Nations, 
in documents filed with the UN 
Commission on Human Rights, 1992
