Calls to action
Truth and reconciliation: call to action is a booklet created by the National Center for Truth and reconciliation in collaboration with the University of Manitoba. This Booklet summarizes not only the class to action but also the principles of reconciliations and articles of the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). These documents should be read together and this booklet does an excellent job. It is a really great place to start leaning about the many responsibilities that we have to Truth and Reconciliation.
