oh yes, we know him here in Mi'kmaw Country, he was the first to cash in on the canadian govts' Aboriginal Healing Foundation Program for Survivors of Residential Schools which resulted in the first Survivors Gathering held in Fredericton, New Brunswick canada. Who knows how much he made for that conference. I attended as a "first generation survivor"; my Mother, who went to the notorious Shubenacadie Resie skewl did not attend. I attended the conference the first day only. It was a mishmash of poorly constructed "talking circles" and other quasi flooky programs to provide healing. I instead spent the rest of the conference outside by the Sacred Fire, where there were Medicine People gathered and conducted Ceremonies and where the real work was being done. Now the Aboriginal Healing Foundation created by the Canadian Govt was the biggest sham in recent history. Its purpose was "healing" Neither I, or my Mother; are sick. We are not in need of Healing. My People are
not sick!
the hundreds of millions of dollars that the us and canadian govts have spent,
has all been part of an insidious and diabolical plan by the govts. you see as
long as the govt's tell us we are sick and in need of "healing" and then they
spend millions on it, they NEVER have to look at what policies, procedures, and
acts allowed this act of Genocide to occur to our People. (according to the
current U.N. policy, abduction of children, and the reprograming they went thru
is considered Genocide.) You see in this "Grand Deflection" they govts have
perpetrated, they NEVER have to look at themselves and CHANGE, they never have
to apologize...so if nothing changes....it can all happen again.... And sadly i would say 70 percent of the funds that exchanged hands went to the lawyers representing the lawsuits as my mother was granted 3000$ as reparation for her stay at the school, i say they should have been a thousand dollars for each day she spent in that unholy residential skewl.
Now more on phil. I never heard he was a chief. he is also associated with the notorious Four Worlds International Institute. Who produced the vile book called the "Sacred Tree". a handbook for the for all new agers based on the fraudulent medicine wheel which severely damaged a generation of Mi'kmaq and Maliseet and Passamaquoddy childeren, for more information on that see the post

The book supposedly was created by Elders from all over canada, but i know most of them were Native-Bahai, which in itself is not troublesome, what was troublesome was this was the first book in canada to start the pan-indian spirituality, and i believe that Bahai beliefs were mixed in with the rest of the pan-indian spirituality presented in this book. it was a cash cow that allowed them to create a cirriculum based on the book. Phil is a techie for hire as long as theres money involved.
