some of our programs that you may be familiar with are the national register and national historic landmarks program. the african-american civil rights network which is one of the newest programs and i will expand upon that later in this presentation as well as our various granting programs such as our african-american civil rights grants which give moneys to local state, local, federal government, preservation organizations and stewards in order to undertake historic preservation or preserve culture resources or tell their stories within the communities. the parks service has over 21,000 employees and volunteers that work with us and we usually have around 320 million individuals visitors come through our parks. .. .. to the process of reconciliation their first has to be an act or multiple acts. there has to be some type of acknowledgment and act has occurred. and on the part of the defendant there has to be forgiveness. but on the part of the offender there has to be at repentance, true and committed repentance. in order to be reconciled you must have forgiveness, you must have repentance

the important _ national politics? the important part - national politics?portant part of out| national politics? the i important part of out my national politics? iie: important part of out my work is that we find allies standing with us. this government is run by non—indigenous people, this is a government elected predominantly by non—indigenous people. i want to work with allies to make sure that these changes happen, the positive changes, and our positive vision for the future comes true. ourvision vision for the future comes true. our vision for the future and our desires and wants are the same as other canadians. we want our children to be happy, healthy, living in safe and vibrant communities. this is a mutual goal that we have in canada, and so for me, as national chief, it is but working with allies to make sure this government actually takes the action and listens to its own non—indigenous citizens. in terms of changing the narrative and changing the structure so that first nations are treated with dignity and respect. i think that is a very basic

no nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all of history. only the united states had the capacity, the will, and the ability to do it, and we did it today. the extraordinary success of this mission is due to the incredible skill, bravery, and selfless courage of the united states military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. for weeks, they risked their lives to get american citizens, afghans who helped us, citizens of our allies and partners and others on board planes and out of the country. and they did it facing the crush of enormous crowds seeking to leave the country. and they did it knowing isis-k terrorists, sworn enemies of the taliban, were looking in the midst of those crowds. and still, the women and men of the united states military, our diplomatic corps, and intelligence professionals did their job and did it well, risking their lives not for professional gain, but to serve others. not an admission of war, but in a mission of mercy. 20 service members were wounded in service of this mission. 13 heroes gave their liv

when people say, people spoke about the united nations, to the united nations, a particular moment, the 5 most powerful people, on many occasions the united nations could not have been able to deliver timely and effective and powerful messages or action because of the divisions among security council members, look at the case of syria. a lot of people, a list of 6.6 million syrian people had become refugees in lebanon, progress and egypt and more than 5 million people living on the poverty line in egypt. most persistent and broken. this is a travesty but because of that the united nations is not been able to deliver humanitarian issues. i read yesterday the united states is trying to deliver food boxes but there should be no such restrictions when it comes to genuine humanitarian support and syria, so many countries around the world whose people are suffering without being able to say anything, and the united nations, as secretary general i tried my best, just the general functioning of the united nations system, secretariat and specialized agencies and other agencies, beating the expec

on september 16th, 1965, which is the actually mexican national day, the national farm workers association was convened. the membership was convened, and you know, sort of the town hall, and the members voted to join the filipino strike, and they all walked out of the great fields of delay know. well, the growers responded quite violently spraying the workers with pesticides. and in order to call the attention of the governor of california, ceasar chavez decided to launch a big march from delay know to sacramento which was over 300 miles. that march was a movement that had some religious undertones which really served as an element of the cultural cohesion for in particular for, for the mexican american union. so, as we can see up here, this is a photograph of that march which started in delay know with a few hundred farm workers, and when it got to sacramento, california, it was 10,000 people. we see here a photograph by ernest lowe of ceasar chavez giving a speech there on the steps of the california capitol in sacramento. the backbone of the workers were peace. ceasar chavez and dolores

these actions are in no way directed to the security interests of any nation. any government that chooses to use these actions as a pretext for harming relations with the united states will be doing so on its own responsibility and on its own initiative, and we will draw the appropriate conclusions. and now let me give you the reasons for my decision. a majority of the american people, a majority of you listening to me are for the withdrawal of our forces from vietnam. the action i have taken tonight is indispensable for the continuing success of that withdrawal program. a majority of the american people want to end this war rather than to have it drag on interminably. the action i have taken tonight will serve that purpose. a majority of the american people want to keep the casualties of our brave men in vietnam at an absolute minimum. the action i take tonight is essential if we are to accomplish that goal. we take this action not for the purpose of expanding the war into cambodia, but for the purpose of ending the war in vietnam and winning the just peace we

like i mentioned the nation shopkeepers. it has helped create that boom and now whereas it suffered the worst of all the 7th company countries, it has come back 2nd only willing to the us. now we know that back when restrictions were being lifted, there were a lot of people who warned against it because of those emerging variance of the current of virus. and even though in these cases we've seen the u. k. do really well so far. is there still that concerned that it could be the delta variant or any other variance that could hurt the economy just out as it's recovery? why? thank you right, rachel? it could be anywhere. everybody's concerned about it thus far, and i'm not a doctor nor my associate just all signed, told us, but i will say this. it is so for proport so far purported to be more infectious but way less deadly. so i think that has people less scared. i also think it's like many things in life. i think the nation in the u. k. like the u. s. people who become accustomed to this people are accustomed, wayne and mosque

the alternative to nation building is k. s. senator biden retorts in some parts administration. nation building is still a dirty phrase, but the alternative to nation building is chaos. chaos that churns out blood thirsty warlords, drug traffickers, and terrorist. when the u. s. failed to swiftly hand down ben loudon in 2001. the mission shifted towards remodeling the country into an ideal society that does not breed terrorists. george bush used the exact words nation building when looking back, flashing back at american efforts in the country. we know that true police will only be achieved when we give the afghan people the means to achieve their own aspirations. pace fees will be achieved by helping app ganesh. stan, develop its own stable government. but to do that meant to break the spine of the traditionalist, have good society and implant a new one from reconstruction and aid efforts to overseeing the formation of the new african state army. us train of course. and that did not come cheap. the me i the, the real the we

and a big part of that action is reparations to first nation communities and first nation people forto us. we have said this for many, many years, that, especially through the trc process, that this was genocide, and people are now beginning to see that that is the truth. and so we need to stand together, for certain, and make sure that action is taken. it's not enough to just sit back and say, "oh, that's a terrible thing that happened." what every canadian and every citizen of the world needs to say is, "what can i do about this? "what can i...? how can i affect this in a positive way?" and i believe that we're on that path now. when you use the word "reparations", i think of, sort of, financial compensation, but surely there are other structural issues that need addressing as well. i'm thinking about everything from the terrible economic figures which suggest deep inequality in canada, where first nations peoples are much less likely to have a job, they're much less likely to have a decent standard of living. you mentioned drinking water. they're much less likely to have access to

the business of our nation goes forward.nited states are confronted with an economic affliction of great proportions. we suffer from the longest and one of the worst sustained inflations in our national history. it distorts our economic decisions, penalizes thrift, and crushes the struggling young and the fixed income elderly alike. it threatens to shootter lives of millions of our people. idle industries have cast workers into unemployment, human misery and personal indignity. those who do work are denied a fair return for their labor by a tax system which penalizes successful achievement and keeps us from maintaining full productivity. but great as our tax burden is, it has not kept pace with public spending. for decades, we have piled deficit upon deficit, mortgaging our future and our children's future for the temporary convenience of the present. to continue this long trend is to guarantee tremendous social, cultural, political and check upheavals. you and i as individuals can by borrowing live beyond our means. but for

the national epic trinity is don't want that. they just want to compete, they don't want politics to enter into it, but we can't help and avoid that. that might occur because of the strong political problems that are at the moment. china won't want to give up the game saying that all this money is 1st time games will be in a same city for winter and summer. that's the 1st and they've got the infrastructure done, and they'll, they'll run technically a very good gains. so they don't want that to occur and if they move against china might be willing to a lot of the olympic movement. it's a shame their current 1st on the metal tele. so the world doesn't want to see that neither does the i o c, and i don't want to see that. so we're in a situation an interesting 6 months to see if or be a lobby to have some changes occur for the beijing games. an interesting 6 months. barbara, what, what do you think is likely to happen with those winter games in the 2022. what i wanted to mention because you earlier said that, you know, the post on m
