What Treaties & Right Relations offer Canadians – 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux
As we conclude Treaty Week we look at the benefits that can accrue to Canadians through supporting a resolution process and building Right Relations with Indigenous peoples. History and research have confirmed the price of ignoring Indigenous and treaty rights across Canada, and we know the cost of doing nothing, resolving nothing, is far too high in human, social and economic terms for everyone.
