  2. We have lost a giant of a man…he was a wonderful person and a leader worth following. I am deeply saddened that his death was such a terrible reflection of the very inequality and enforced poverty that he gave his entire life to rectifying. Supporting his people in their actions and aspirations is the legacy I intend to uphold.

  3. I feel honoured to have known Art – such a smart, driven, dedicated man. And he was also so hilarious and warm. You will be so badly missed, Art – be at peace with the ancestors. With respect and affection – Tamara

  4. Art Manuel’s book UNSETTLING CANADA is an inspiration to those who want to see universal human rights to be at long last brought into practice in Canada as a supreme law of human rights. I was extremely moved and inspired when I heard Art’s talk at Okanagan College in Kelowna last spring.

    In his memory – we must begin a discussion on how to create a partnership between Indigenous Governments of Turtle Island and groups that are seeking to replace colonial discredited premises of investment law – with a solid foundation that incorporates the legal customs of the Original Society. When we have natural justice that does not involve dollars and fleecing victims – we will be able to achieve the kind of practices that respects our commitments like the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.
