    The Politics of Allyship with Indigenous Peoples in the Canadian Refugee-Serving Sector (Article)
    This is a foundational piece co-written by Chizuru Nobe-Ghelani from the School of Social Work at York University, and Mbalu Lumor from the Canadian Centre for Victims of Torture published in Refuge: Canada's Journal on Refugees in 2022. It's essential reading for anyone working in the refugee re-settlement space and it provides an excellent entry point for reflecting upon the Indigenous-refugee relationship, and outlines what is needed from the sector for meaningful Indigenous-refugee allyship and for action-oriented reconciliation to take place.
