From the "About NDHR" (National Day of Healing and Reconciliation) web site  

Mission Statement

National Day of Healing and Reconciliation is a movement of people committed to moving forward collectively within our families, communities, and across Canada for the purposes of healing and reconciliation.
 
Objectives:

Fundraising for ceremonies and protest, a steadfast First Nation chief and a letter from an international environment group

The following e-mail appealing for funds for the Queen's Park camp organizing committee; the Canadian Press article concerning Chief's Donnie Morris' position on Ontario's free entry for mining law; and the press release concerning the letter to Ontario from Robert Kennedy, Jr, indicate growing support for First Nations and the May 29 National Day of Action where all Canadians can come together to demand equal treatment for First Nations across this country.
