Reconciliation in the Future

New!

From: Reconciliation and Indigenous Justice

$0.50

The conclusion focuses on the future direction and mission of reconciliation. The chapter focuses on the push towards a genuine partnership with Indigenous communities and the Canadian state. The chapter discusses what is still to be done and argues for the necessity of a push for a more comprehensive set of initiatives on behalf of the Canadian state and people to change and overhaul criminal justice for Indigenous peoples. Current policies presently fall well short of what can be considered true reconciliation; we need to move beyond token gestures for real change. Maintaining the status quo will not only entail grave repercussions for Indigenous Peoples, but for the rest of Canada as well.
