Tenants et aboutissants de la réconciliation au Canada : combler l’écart entre les peuples autochtones et le contexte juridique (en anglais)

17 minutes de lecture
27 septembre 2019

The restoration of friendly relations - that is how many people would define the term "reconciliation." However, when it comes to reconciliation in the context of Indigenous people and the legal landscape in Canada, the above-mentioned definition may not exactly apply. Canada's history with Indigenous people and their rights is a long one fraught with discrimination and racism, which some would say is still is embedded in many aspects of our Federal legislation today.

Tune into the first episode of Diversonomics, Season 4, as our hosts Roberto Aburto and Cindy Kou chat with one of Canada's top 25 most influential lawyers of 2019, Jaimie Lickers, about what reconciliation really means for Indigenous people in Canada and how to move the legal profession forward when it comes to Indigenous law.

Episode tip

"There's an increasing population of urban Indigenous people that have a very vibrant culture outside of the lands of their home communities. There's so many different experiences out there and the only way to get to know anyone's experience other than your own is to have these conversation."

- Jaimie Lickers, national leader of Gowling WLG's Indigenous law group
