NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the #1 bestselling author of 'Indian' in the Cabinet comes a groundbreaking roadmap to advancing true reconciliation across Canada. Many Canadians have asked Jody Wilson-Raybould how they can help advance reconciliation, expressing a desire for concrete actions that lead to real change. This book outlines the steps needed to get started. Wilson-Raybould identifies three core practices—Learn, Understand, and Act—that individuals, communities, organizations, and governments can adopt. These practices draw on the historical and contemporary experiences of Indigenous peoples in their pursuit of transformative change and decolonization, as well as insights into what has been effective and ineffective in the past. A shared understanding of the Indigenous experience is fundamental to this process. The narrative reflects an “oral” history of the land, incorporating both Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives. The ultimate goal is to dismantle the silos that hinder meaningful change, empowering individuals to act as “inbetweeners” and seize this pivotal moment in history to transform Canada into a place of pride for all.
