It assesses the Commission\u2019s influence on subsequent milestones in Indigenous-Canada relations and considers our prospects for a constructive future. RCAP\u2019s five-year examination of the relationships of First Nations, Metis, and Inuit peoples to Canada and to non-Indigenous Canadians resulted in a new vision for Canada and provided 440 specific recommendations, many of which informed the subsequent work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). Considered too radical and difficult to implement, RCAP\u2019s recommendations were largely ignored, but the TRC reiterates that longstanding inequalities and imbalances in Canada\u2019s relationship with Indigenous peoples remain and quite literally calls us to action. With reflections on RCAP\u2019s legacy by its co-chairs, leaders of national Indigenous organizations and the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, and leading academics and activists, this collection refocuses our attention on the groundbreaking work already performed by RCAP. Organized thematically, it explores avenues by which we may establish a new relationship, build healthy and powerful communities, engage citizens, and move to action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, please visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fpa\/cu_event\/sharing-the-land-sharing-a-future-the-legacy-of-the-royal-commission-on-aboriginal-peoples\/\">Sharing the Land, Sharing a Future: The Legacy of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples event page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_event_type":[],"cu_event_audience":[5,6,7],"class_list":["post-781","cu_event","type-cu_event","status-publish","hentry","cu_event_audience-carleton-community","cu_event_audience-current-students","cu_event_audience-faculty"],"acf":{"cu_event_start_date":"2021-11-18T19:00:00","cu_event_end_date":"2021-11-18T20:30:00","cu_event_location_type":"in-person","cu_event_meeting_address_type":"on-campus","cu_building":false,"cu_event_meeting_room":"","cu_event_meeting_address_full":null,"cu_event_virtual_type":"tbd","cu_event_virtual_meeting_link":"","cu_post_thumbnail":false,"cu_event_cost":"","cu_event_registration":"","cu_event_secondary_button":"","cu_event_contact_name":"","cu_event_email":"","cu_event_phone":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/rfng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/rfng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/rfng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_event"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/rfng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/rfng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/781\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":808,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/rfng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event\/781\/revisions\/808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/rfng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/rfng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_type?post=781"},{"taxonomy":"cu_event_audience","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/rfng\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_event_audience?post=781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
