Call to Action # 48 : Settlement Agreement Parties and the UN Declaration (48-49)

Anglican Church of Canada

March 31, 2016

Part of ecumenical community announcement to implement the principles, norms, and standards of UNDRIP as the framework for reconciliation.

UNDRIP must be approached and applied with a set of expectations that will inform strategy, process, and practice…There must be time for teaching and reflection that demonstrates those connections – guided by direct input from Indigenous People. …We will need to have a gradual acceptance and acknowledgement that Church institutions and members were involved in serious violations of UNDRIP and core Christian teaching over a number of centuries. The process of compliance to Call to Action #48 should be strategically planned to be progressive, on-going and reflective.
