A major organization of Inuit native Canadians has insisted that Pope Francis’ apology was insufficient, calling on the Catholic Church to pony up monetary reparations.
Pope Francis’ apology is “only one step towards reconciliation,” Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) said in a statement following the pontiff’s declaration of sorrow this week for the ways in which many Christians “supported the colonizing mentality of the powers that oppressed the indigenous peoples.”
“Inuit have finally been heard and their experiences acknowledged,” said Aluki Kotierk, president of NTI, which sent a delegation of 55 Nunavut Inuit to Edmonton to witness the papal apology.
Now NTI has called on the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops to provide financing to the Nunavut Tunngavik Foundation for culture and healing programs for Nunavut Inuit negatively impacted by their time in residential schools.

Maybe he’ll send some Wine
Show me the mass graves.
Surely Pope Libtard knows what reparations are - he would be calling for them if it was illegals aliens vs the us govt
You just knew that was coming. Maybe they should produce the bodies first. So far, the “thousands killed” by the schools have not been proven.
Will a future Pope apologize for this Pope ?
It is so pathetic.
Sad, but oh so predictable.
“calling on the Catholic Church to pony up monetary reparations.”
as a former canadian, lemme explain this to American Freepers: Inuits are NOT First Nations (or “native canadians”) First Nations receive LOTS of $$$ monthly (aka welfare) from the canadian govt. since the 70’s as “white guilt”. Around $5000 canadian average. Inuits pissed that they are not categorized under First Nations and not getting any grease money, sense that now’s the time to get the govt to send $$$.
When Trudeau apologized did he bring pallets of Cash ? LOL
Perfect. Idiot Pope thought that the alligator would be happy with just a whiff of red meat. Silly stupid Pope.
The money is not coming from the pope. It’s going to come from ordinary Canadians. This is nothing more than conditioning the folks to accept the forthcoming reparations.
You would be stunned at the amount of money that has been forked over to our natives. Plus they are untouchable when it comes to breaking the laws.
Not to mention that the Canadian government has built the homes and water purification plants and given the money to provide education.
But the band chiefs and band council prefer their big houses and Ford 3500’s, as well as their trips to Vegas and other niceties.
I was THIS close when I was younger to marry a FN woman. Super hot. The rule was that any husband is automatically in the “gravy train” and part of the tribe in BC. Meaning I would get around $4000 per month and at least 15 hectares of land. May be I should have taken it lol.
They dont even pay taxes for crying out loud. Back in HS, I had a part-time job in Vancouver answering calls for Pizza Hut deliveries. ALL orders to the reservation was FREE.
sure, show me your DNA linked to some bone...
Each Residential school survivor was paid $30,000.00 about 10 years ago by the Federal Govt.
Same here in Australia. Those Aboriginals smart enough to game the system do extremely well while the others continue to live in poverty. The money has been poured into land councils for 50 years with very little improvement to show for it. It just seems to feed more activism. A sceptical person might believe that some don’t want to see decent change as it might stop the gravy train.
Pony up, you pathetic excuse for a Godly man
Charlatan
A future Pope should not apologize for Bergoglio.
A future Pope should anathematize Bergoglio.
Yea Pope, give them all your money.
