As we enter National Truth and Reconciliation Week, we discuss Canada\u2019s progress on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission\u2019s 94 Calls to Action and the meaning of reconciliation and reclamation in this settler-colonial state. Reflecting on Canada\u2019s progress on reconciliation, Johnston says: \u201cIt's been the low hanging fruit or the easy Calls to Action that have been addressed to date \u2026 A lot of the work that I have seen is through grassroots organizations and others who've been working away at the Calls to Action.\u201d Speaking about two key aspects of reconciliation, Jewell says: \u201cThe first is for Canadians. They have to reconcile with themselves and with what their country has done \u2026 And then there's the work that we have to do as Indigenous Peoples \u2026 and that is reclaiming, recreating our world through our language practices, our cultural practices, our political practices, repopulating our political systems that were destroyed by Residential Schools.\u201d About today\u2019s guests:  Dr. Eva Jewell is Anishinaabe from Deshkan Ziibiing (Chippewas of the Thames First Nation) in southwestern Ontario, with paternal lineage from Oneida Nation of the Thames.
