Reconciliation


Chief Dr. Robert Joseph, Ambassador Reconciliation

The reality for many non-Aboriginal people is that they have few opportunities to articulate their attitudes towards reconciliation or Aboriginal people in social contexts and, consequently, misinformation and prejudice inform those occasions when such issues arise. The journey to reconciliation is the goal. It is a goal that will take the commitment of multiple generations but when it is achieved – when we have reconciliation – it will make for a better, stronger Canada.

Reconciliation means working together to correct the legacy of past injustice.

Black Elk Speaks



by John Neihardt and Vine Deloria
