Reconciliation Canada

The recent 7th Annual FNMPC Conference (Toronto, April 22-23) tackled a critical theme: Indigenous consent as a key aspect of reconciliation. This focus aligns perfectly with Canada's growing recognition that Indigenous rights are pivotal to advancing the nation's global market share. Our ambassador, Chief Robert Joseph, delivered a powerful speech at the conference. He emphasized reconciliation as the cornerstone of this crucial work in North America, highlighting the importance of ensuring Indigenous voices are heard and respected. Only through such collaboration can we achieve a sustainable future for all. Why it matters: 1. Sustainability requires Indigenous consent. 2. Working together respects rights and creates solutions for the climate crisis that benefit everyone. 3. Investments in a greener future can improve lives while upholding Indigenous values. The key? UNDRIP ensures free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) for Indigenous communities. Companies embracing UNDRIP build strong partnerships, gaining a global advantage.

In 2012, he founded Reconciliation Canada, which actively engages multi-faith and multi-cultural communities to explore the meaning of reconciliation.   At the #FNMPC2024 OCA Conference, bear witness as he reflects on his experience to unite Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to further self-determination.

The peak of human experience is allowing ourselves to understand both others and ourselves. We are going to discover things about each other that will lend themselves to our shared journey, which will manifest in a higher level of humanity between all of us, in this country and abroad. In spite of what we have experienced, you are each a part of all this and you are loved. –Chief Robert Joseph, Namwayut - A Pathway to Reconciliation. @chief_robert_joseph Photo Credit: Hayf Photography

Finding our purpose can be daunting, and the fear of drifting from it is something we all experience. But Chief Robert Joseph reminds us that staying the course, even when it's tough, is essential. "We are all, at times, afraid of our own ability to take on our purpose. We are all, at times, worried that we might drift. We must all stay the course because it's worth it," he says in his book, "Namwayut - A Pathway to Reconciliation." Let's embrace the journey, knowing that perseverance leads to fulfillment. #reconciliaction #purpose #staythecourse #reconciliation
