Unsettled: Journeys in Truth and ConciliationAuthor: George Lee & Jessica Vandenberghe
Unsettled: Journeys in Truth and Conciliation builds upon the 94 calls to action of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, from the perspectives of Indigenous cohost Jessica Vandenberghe, settler cohost George Lee, and their Indigenous and settler guests. We start from the belief that conciliation in Canada is an ongoing project, individually and collectively, as the country moves beyond colonial thinking to build a nation of nationsone free of racist, pro-assimiliation policies, and one that honours treaties and other commitments to Indigenous peoples.
