We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Reconciliation in Practice: A Cross-Cultural Perspective" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission released a report designed to facilitate reconciliation between the Canadian state and Indigenous Peoples. Its call to honour treaty relationships reminds us that we are all treaty people including immigrants and refugees living in Canada. The contributors to this volume, many of whom are themselves immigrants and refugees, take up the challenge of imagining what it means for immigrants and refugees to live as treaty people. Through essays, personal reflections and poetry, the authors explore what reconciliation is and what it means to live in relationship with Indigenous Peoples.Speaking from their personal experience whether from the education and health care systems, through research and a community garden, or from experiences of discrimination and marginalization contributors share their stories of what reconciliation means in practice. They write about building respectful relationships with Indigenous Peoples, respecting Indigenous Treaties, decolonizing our ways of knowing and acting, learning the role of colonized education processes, protecting our land and environment, creating food security and creating an intercultural space for social interactions.Perhaps most importantly, Reconciliation in Practice reminds us that reconciliation is an ongoing process, not an event, and that decolonizing our relationships and building new ones based on understanding and respect is empowering for all of us Indigenous, settler, immigrant and refugee alike.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

First and foremost I want to thank Drs. Alex Wilson, Linda Smith, Marie Battise, Manulani Meyer, Shawn Wilson, and Verna St. Denis for their continuous motivation, encouragement, and enlightenment for unlearning and relearning who I am and who I need to be. I am also grateful to the Indigenous Peoples in Canada, particularly Indigenous Elders, Knowledge Keepers, leaders, and youth who so warmly welcomed my family to their land and community and provided opportunities to learn the meanings of land and sustainability stories. I also thank my friends (too many to list here but you know who you are!) for providing the support and friendship that I needed. I am sincerely grateful to Mel Sysing with whom I initially started the conversation for this project. Finally, I owe a lot to Candida Hadley (Acquisitions and Development Editor, Fernwood Publishing) for being supportive throughout her time here and for helping me with the editing of this book.
