Description

A compelling approach to heal the rift between Canada and First Peoples Communities.

Canada prides itself on being a nation to whom a troubled, conflicted world can search for inspiration. Tolerance, diversity, equality, honesty, and compassion … all are virtues Canada claims are parts of its cultural DNA. Yet Canada’s relationships with its First Peoples (First Nations, Inuit, and Metis) are badly fractured, with distrust and profound disharmony their defining features. Whether Canada acts to honour the guarantees exchanged within the 1764 Treaty of Niagara, promises which were violated, ignored, or forgotten for 250 years, will define us eternally.

Keeping Our Word offers a transparent way forward. Canada may never have existed without its formative First Peoples’ partnerships. Our word will have to be kept, and our bargains honoured, or Canada can be exposed as a failed experiment built on a broken promise.
