CANDRIP


Since 2015, the Trudeau government has been continued a longstanding Indigenous policy of assimilation, dispossession and termination of rights by municipalization of First Nations under its self-government policy and eliminating Indian Reserves into private property as fee simple parcels. These documents provide the analysis of the federal meaning of Indigenous Reconciliation, which we call White Paper 2.0.

The Work of Art Manuel

 

Arthur Manuel was a colleague and brother to me who left us unexpectedly for the Spirit World in January 2017. Fortunately, he left behind his vision and work for us all to carry on in his writings and lectures. What is shared here is just a small part of his huge legacy! My platform and Vision are inspired by the knowledge and wisdom Art shared with me over the years we knew and worked with each other.
