Loving Justice: The Colonialism Antidote by Dr Cindy Blackstock

In 2016, the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal found Canada responsible for discriminating against First Nations children and ordered it to stop. Canada didn’t and First Nations and children of all diversities worked together to force Canada to do better resulting in billions of new services, and new hope, for First Nations children. This presentation shares what we learned about love, justice, children, and ourselves as we cut links in the colonial chain.
