Current reconciliation efforts between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples are missing the main target, according to a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute. In “Pursuing Reconciliation: The Case for an Off-Reserve Urban Agenda,” author John Richards argues that the federal government, provinces, and Indigenous leaders must develop an agenda for the majority of First Nation people who live off-reserve in urban settings.
