This comprehensive book delves into the intricate ethical and practical challenges inherent in the reconciliation of Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities. With a growing interest among researchers, educators, and social and environmental activists to foster effective support for ongoing efforts to recognize, integrate, and promote Indigenous perspectives and communities, this book takes Canada as its focal point, offering a multidisciplinary exploration of a diverse range of reconciliation policies, practices, and initiatives that hold relevance in all settler states.

Amidst the growing neoliberal appropriation, the book reimagines reconciliation within the everyday contexts of community interaction and engagement, as well as in critical areas such as Indigenous knowledge, resource management, and social and environmental justice. Reconciliation extends beyond the realm of law and government, recognizing the diverse perspectives of settlers, migrants, and refugee communities. The book examines both opportunities and obstacles in the forging of a truly decolonizing framework for reconciliation, catering to a wide range of scholars and practitioners engaged in law, politics, education, environmental studies, anthropology, and Indigenous studies.
