Description

Sharing the Land, Sharing a Future looks to both the past and the future as it examines the foundational work of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) and the legacy of its 1996 report. It assesses the Commission’s influence on subsequent milestones in Indigenous–Canada relations and considers our prospects for a constructive future.

Reviews

"This book is an indictment of settler society and governments in Canada. [Sharing the Land, Sharing a Future] will be important for everyone working in Indigenous-settler relations."

- Don Schweitzer

"Sharing the Land makes use of a range of different modes of writing that includes addresses, critical scholarly articles, and a speculative thinkpiece. Among its authors are scholars and political figures and activists, including the RCAP co-chairs. Because of this diversity of perspectives, its conclusions are almost necessarily [...] ambiguous. The best we might be able to say is that RCAP’s legacies are controversial and multiple."
