reconciliation with Indigenous peoples

Reconciliation with Indigenous peoples involves repairing and strengthening relationships after historical injustices, such as colonization and discriminatory policies. It recognizes past wrongs, acknowledges Indigenous rights and cultures, and seeks meaningful cooperation, respect, and equality. The goal is to foster mutual understanding, address hurt and disparities, and ensure Indigenous communities have equitable opportunities and recognition within society. Reconciliation is an ongoing process of dialogue, healing, and building trust between Indigenous peoples and the broader community.
