Toward reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples in Canada

Description
with guest Dr. Ray Aldred, Director of the Indigenous Studies at the Vancouver School of Theology. How does looking back at Canada’s history with Indigenous Peoples inform how to participate today in reconciliation? And what is the role of faith in this conversation when so much hurt was endured in the name of the Church?  Reverend Dr. Ray Aldred, Director of the Indigenous Studies at the Vancouver School of Theology, reminds us that reconciliation is a process, not a one-time event. He offers that looking back to the historic treaty process may be a good place to start. If treaties were meant to help people enjoy a peaceful existence and access to the bounty that the land provides, perhaps we can learn from this in our pursuit of reconciliation. We came together at one time because we needed one another—perhaps we can again. Recommended Resources: Indigenous Studies programs at Vancouver School of Theology Episode hosted by Shelaine.
