November 24, 2005 · Michele Norris talks with Gloria Galloway, a reporter
with the Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, about a $1.9-billion
settlement between the Canadian government and its aboriginal people. The
settlement helps to conclude a long-running controversy over church-run
schools in the 19th and 20th centuries, where many native children were
taken away from their families to the schools and subjected them to a
variety of abuses -- from beatings to rape -- in the name of making the
children "Canadian." On Thursday, leaders of the First Nations aboriginal
group held a major summit with Canadian leaders.
