SUMMARY:TRC #57: Dr. Kiera Ladner
DESCRIPTION:How do Indigenous teachings\, stories\, and laws rooted upon the Lands we share point toward different possibilities for governance\, kinship\, and coexistence?\nRegister Now! \nAs we close our year-long study of Resurgence and Reconciliation: Indigenous–Settler Relations and Earth Teachings\, this final gathering invites us to pause\, reflect\, and look forward—carefully. \nGuided by the insights of Kiera Ladner’s concluding chapter\, “Proceed with Caution: Reflections on Resurgence and Reconciliation\,” this session brings the TRC#57 hosts together to reflect on what we have learned over the past year\, and what remains unfinished. Ladner reminds us that reconciliation is not a destination\, a policy achievement\, or a symbolic gesture. It is an ongoing process of being and becoming—one that demands responsibility\, remembrance\, and transformative change rather than convergence or assimilation. \nThis closing conversation asks us to sit with the hard questions raised throughout the series: \n\nWhat does it mean to live together in a mutually agreeable and mutually beneficial way on Indigenous lands?\nWhy does meaningful reconciliation require unsettling national myths and confronting uncomfortable histories?\nWhat responsibilities do individuals\, communities\, and institutions carry in sustaining just relationships—now and into the future?\nAnd how do Indigenous teachings\, stories\, and laws grounded in the land point toward different possibilities for governance\, kinship\, and coexistence?\n\nRather than offering final answers\, this session creates space for collective reflection. It invites our audience to consider how the teachings shared throughout Season 6 might be carried forward—into your daily life\, community work\, and long-term commitments. \nThis closing gathering is not an ending\, but a moment of orientation: an invitation to proceed with care\, humility\, and intention as we continue the shared work of living well together. \nRegister Now! \n \nResurgence and Reconciliation: Indigenous–Settler Relations and Earth Teachings\nEdited by Michael Asch\, John Borrows and James Tully \nUse the code Resurgence2026 to get 20% off your purchase through University of Toronto Press\, plus\, get free shipping on orders over $40 \nPurchase a Copy \nBorrow a Copy
