Indigenous Watchdog has created a picture of reconciliation based on an examination of all 431 positive "Actions and Commitments" and 315 "Current Problems" in 2022. The review offers a glimpse of what is happening: good and bad. indigenouswatchdog.org/2023/01/23/whe…
After more than 7 years, 11 of the TRC Calls to Action are NOT STARTED and 21 are STALLED – 35%! And other tracking metrics in Child Welfare and Justice are moving up not down. Is reconciliation working. What do you think? Learn more: indigenouswatchdog.org

According to a 2021 @UN report, Indigenous peoples residing in metropolitan areas endure racial discrimination, poverty & stigmatization. 60% of Indigenous peoples in Canada live off-reserve. So what is being done to address urban inequities? bit.ly/3mKsCya
Federal, provincial & territory governments have a voracious appetite for resource extraction and development. Their problem - Indigenous treaties and land claims get in the way. Their solution - break the treaties and fight land claims in the courts. ➡️ bit.ly/3HmYjqJ
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among Nunavut Inuit. Why are suicide rates so much higher in First Nations & Inuit communities? Suicide is a tragic outcome of colonization. Prevention involves working toward social equity: bit.ly/3OaoWkO
Indigenous peoples' struggle for human rights is deeply rooted in the concept of "home". But Indigenous peoples have been forced from their homes all over the world. Home can only be achieved alongside reconciliation ➡️ bit.ly/3aWrc0M #IndigenousWatchdog
Many First Nations face 3-5 times the rate of food insecurity as the rest of Canada due to environmental degradation, socioeconomic, systemic, & regulatory barriers. How can we address First Nations' food insecurity & sovereignty? ➡️ bit.ly/3mPxZfy #IndigenousWatchdog
Indigenous reconciliation = environmental survival ♻️ Governments and large corporations continue to pillage Indigenous land without their consent, devastating their ecosystems. Stand with Indigenous opposition to take action for the climate: bit.ly/39qTUXk
132 long-term drinking water advisories have been lifted since 2015, but there are still 34 long-term drinking water advisories in place across 29 First Nations communities 🚱 All communities in Canada deserve access to this basic human need ➡️ bit.ly/3MRM6eI
1,762 unmarked graves have been discovered at former residential school sites across Canada, yet the TRC call to make records on the deaths of Aboriginal children available is stalled. Hold stakeholders accountable. Because every child matters ➡️ bit.ly/3n6H2cd
Indigenous women make up 4.9% of Canada's population, but 50% of the female inmate population in federally run prisons. CTA #30 that addresses the overrepresentation of Indigenous people in custody is stalled. Find out why? ➡️ bit.ly/3yrh5Lh #IndigenousWatchdog
Canada is between 6th & 12th on the UN Human Development Index, but First Nations are ranked between 63rd & 78th. This figure has remained unchanged since 1981. The TRC’s 7 “Health” CTAs aim to close these disparities, but 0/7 have been completed ➡️ bit.ly/396Rz3l
Canada is home to ≈60 Indigenous languages. Language and culture are inextricably interwoven, and both must be preserved. 2/5 of the TRC's "Language & Culture" CTAs have been completed, but what of the remaining 3? Find out at bit.ly/3MgesQB #IndigenousWatchdog
The TRC’s 11 “Education” Calls to Action emphasize a commitment to Indigenous education, which includes eliminating educational disparities. To date, 0/11 of these CTAs have been completed and 3 haven’t even been started. Learn more at bit.ly/3yruva6 #IndigenousWatchdog
The most pressing issue in child welfare is the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in care and the slow progress in implementing significant change. Though 0/5 of the CTAs have been completed, all are in progress ➡️ bit.ly/396PRyX #IndigenousWatchdog
It has been 7 years since The Truth and Reconciliation Summary Report (2015) released its 94 Calls to Action. Currently 37% are either “Not Started” or “Stalled” and only 11 have been completed. #IndigenousWatchdog tracks the status of the TRC's 94 CTAs: bit.ly/3N3DkuF
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission is the most recent attempt to address 259 years of broken promises and treaties to Canada’s First Peoples. According to the TRC, education is the foundation for making reconciliation a success. This is our goal ➡️ bit.ly/3jPktqF
