Indigenous Resources Guide
Display Introduction
Throughout the year, this display will change regularly, highlighting the different actions we can take towards reconciliation in Canada. This display was inspired by, and features the 150 Acts of Reconciliation, created by Crystal Fraser and Sara Komarnisky. Inspired by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's (TRC) 94 Calls to Action, which are directed toward governments, churches, and other organizations, these 150 Acts of Reconciliation are written for individuals, encouraging us all to take steps towards reconciliation.
"Act #149: Understand that reconciliation is not about "feeling guilty." It is about knowledge, action, and justice."
Current Act
Land acknowledgements help us remember our Canadian colonial history and move us towards learning about the Indigenous peoples who have been here since time immemorial. This is an important step towards reconciliation. Organizations are encouraged to state the traditional lands they occupy on websites and before public events, making sure to involve local Indigenous Nations in developing the statement. On an individual level, we are all encouraged to move towards a more equitable society by learning about the territories that we visit and live in.
