One wonders

if it's just the start...

Christian church, Native American tribe reconcile

I think it's necessary for the descendents of the original settlers to apologize, but I wonder if there will be a financial settlement as well. It's what has happened so often in Canada that there's an expectation of financial redress...

(I'm not saying I disaprove, I'm just stating a fact. It was something the article didn't touch on, consequently I don't think it was part of the apology. We seem to be much further ahead in Canada regarding fairness in Aboriginal reparations.)
