In 2004, a Supreme Court of Canada ruling established that the Crown has a duty to consult and accommodate when there is knowledge that land use proposals may impact Indigenous rights. In 2015, the Canadian federal government’s Truth and Reconciliation Committee [TRC] published a report that deviate...

In 2015, the Canadian federal government’s Truth and Reconciliation Committee [TRC] published a report that deviated from past practices by recommending the creation of working relationships with Indigenous peoples that recognizes the need for reconciliation, by honouring Indigenous knowledge, by displaying “intercultural understanding, and by demonstrating empathy, and mutual respect” (Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada [TRC], 2015, 63, iii).
