It sure doesn't seem like much has changed in those 25 years... at least not as far as the RCMP and Canadian state are concerned.
I do think the settler population is slowly starting to come to terms with our colonial relationship with Indigenous people, and are starting to listen and act more in solidarity with them than in the past. All credit for that goes to Indigenous organizers behind groups and movements like Idle No More, Families of Sisters in Spirit, and those leading the current uprisings across the country.
