Understanding Reconciliation<\/h2>\n

The Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime (CRCVC) believes an awareness of the past and an acknowledgement of the harm inflicted on Indigenous communities is just the start to reconciliation.<\/p>\n

The CRCVC is at the beginning of a journey that will someday bring it closer to being a trusted ally of Indigenous leaders and Indigenous victims of crime in Canada.<\/p>\n

The CRCVC is committed to seeking every opportunity to support Indigenous people across Canada by advocating for their rights in Canada’s colonial legal system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Understanding Reconciliation: Indigenous Sovereignty & Land Rights<\/h2>\n

“The term ‘reconciliation’ now covers any and all manipulations or diminution of Indigenous rights and title” writes the late Arthur Manuel, an Indigenous leader and activist from the Secwepemenc Nation, in his book The Reconciliation Manifesto<\/em>. “The government and the Canadian people have fallen in love with reconciliation. They do not really seem to understand the concept but they truly love that word.”<\/p>\n

The Truth and Reconciliation 94 Calls to Action includes Actions 25-42<\/a> which focus on Justice. CRCVC will use these actions to determine how to best play a role in ensuring these actions can move forward in a respectful and collaborative manner.<\/p>\n

The CRCVC must develop its knowledge of Indigenous rights to assist in holding the municipal, provincial and federal government accountable to finally respecting Indigenous land rights, rights to self-determination, and to support Indigenous youth, and Land and Water Defenders in their organizing, activism and continued defense of their rights to sovereignty and self-government.<\/p>\n

The path towards reconciliation presents a generational opportunity. The following list provides some useful links to help get the journey started.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
