True reconciliation : how to be a force for change / Jody Wilson-Raybould.
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 tangible 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 practices--Learn, Understand, and Act--that can be applied by individuals, communities, organizations, and governments. The practices are based not only on the historical and contemporary 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 understanding 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 "oral" history of these lands, told through Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices from our past and present.

Content descriptions
General Note: | Book club set - 12 copies. Learn section includes 123 page "oral history" knowledge for reconciliation (pages 56-179.) "...the way the story is told reflects fundamental aspects of Indigenous history--about who holds power, about what beliefs were held, about what voices matter, about traditions and cultural practices, including how knowledge was transmitted, and about the course of events. At times, Indigenous voices are predominant. At other times, the voices of those of European descent are predominant. While the story reflects shifts and change, it also reveal things that stay the same. This oral history weaves together voices from our past and present to try to tell our story. And you, the reader, are being called to witness."--Quote excerpted pages 55-56. |
