True Reconciliation: How To Be A Force For Change

There is one question Canadians have asked Jody Wilson-Raybould more than any other: What can I do to help advance reconciliation? It is clear that people from all over the country want to take concrete and tan¡gible action that will make real change. We just need to know how to get started. This book provides that next step. For Wilson-Raybould, what individuals and organizations need to do to advance true reconciliation is self-evident, accessible, and achievable. True Reconciliation is broken down into three core practicesùLearn, Understand, and Actùthat can be applied by individuals, communities, organiza¡tions, and governments. The practices are based not only on the historical and con¡temporary experience of Indigenous peoples in their relentless efforts to effect transformative change and decolonization, but also on the deep understanding and expertise about what has been effective in the past, what we are doing right, and wrong, today, and what our collective future requires. Fundamental to a shared way of thinking is an understand¡ing of the Indigenous experience throughout the story of Canada. In a manner that reflects how work is done in the Big House, True Reconciliation features an ôoralö history of these lands, told through Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices from our past and present. The ultimate and attainable goal of True Reconciliation is to break down the silos weÆve created that prevent meaning¡ful change, to be empowered to increasingly act as ôinbe¡tweeners,ö and to take full advantage of this moment in our history to positively transform the country into a place we can all be proud of.
