McMaster University hosted a MIRI Indigenous Governance Symposium. The government does a good job promoting a reconciliation agenda. But we need to examine the government’s work carefully. The Canadian government is not exposing the entire truth. We can’t jump to reconciliation without addressing the truth. As a non-Indigenous educator I need to ensure that I turn to reliable sources for guidance to support my work in Indigenization. It makes sense to address the truth before reconciling anything. How can Indigenization efforts be genuine if truths are not disclosed?

Hi Emma,
You pose a very important question and I completely agree with you that we need to address and remember the truth before reconciling. I wonder if they have a summary or a pdf resource of the Youtube video?
