On the inaugural National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Bruce McIvor explains why reconciliation fails Indigenous People and what needs to be done to fix it.
Drawing on his experience as a lawyer and Indigenous rights advocate, Bruce discusses the historical and social forces that influence the development of Indigenous law in Canada and addresses the current shortcomings of Canada’s “reconciliation project”.
Bruce charts a practical, principled path based on respect, recognition and the implementation of Indigenous rights for all practitioners to create concrete and meaningful change.
