Thank you for your interest in this event. While we are thrilled at the interest level this Keynote Indigenous History Month event has received, we regret to announce it is now sold out.

The truth is hard. Reconciliation is harder—comes at an opportune time for our country, as we seek to understand how best to implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s (TRC) recommendations. In this keynote, The Honourable Murray Sinclair reminds us that reconciliation is not an act of forgiving past wrongs. It is a process of dismantling the ongoing colonial relationship that treats Indigenous people as less than human. It is not a matter of benevolence or charity. It is a matter of respect and rights.
His Honour has served as chair of the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), was the first Indigenous judge appointed in Manitoba, and recently retired from the Canadian Senate.
Please note that this session will not be recorded. There will be Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) transcription during the event. If you have any questions, please contact hrei.trainings@uwaterloo.ca
