At Cornwallis Park   –a place with negative connotation for Aboriginal/ European relations – lamentation /ceremony. Smudging this place that needs to be smudged where abuse/genocide began. Make statement about the UNDRIP as a new beginning and need for a gesture to address the past.  Ask Dan Paul to come. Support his proposal to change name of Cornwallis St. and Cornwallis Park at a later date e.g. Follow-up may be to address the name issue on  Treaty Day October 1.   Joan and Tammy will probably come… they and the drum group may be present. Have Mi’kmaq ceremony followed by Christian prayers. Maybe have choir/choral group. Maybe a group like Shining Lights.  “Deep in our Hearts” suggested as a possible song to sing.
