Canada is a nation built upon sacred treaty relationships between European settlers and Indigenous Nations. These relationships, grounded in the spirit of peace and friendship, were not only with one another but also with Mother Nature and the Creator. However, the colonial history of Canada has not honoured these tenets. The impacts of colonialism, including the loss of land, culture, and lives, have left lasting scars on Indigenous communities.
Understanding the history of Indigenous peoples, including the tragedy of residential schools, is necessary for building a future aligned with inclusive values. As we move forward, reconciliation becomes an essential part of our journey, and Indigenous collaboration in design emerges as one of many elements of an inclusive and equitable future. By working with First Nations, Metis, and Inuit communities, RJC endeavours to acknowledge past injustices while building bridges of understanding and partnership.
