DESCRIPTION:The Liberal government’s key 2015 election commitments included
  renewing the nation-to-nation relationship with Indigenous Peoples\, and 
 committing to the 94 calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commi
 ssion. There were vows to transition away from the Indian Act\, through a 
 new approach to recognizing the inherent rights of First Nations. But as t
 he next election approaches\, how much meaningful change has actually occu
 rred in this critically important policy area? Has there been movement for
 ward in fundamental areas such as restoring Indigenous land and implementi
 ng the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples? Wha
 t is the state of Indigenous-Crown relations?\n\nJoin us for a conversatio
