Meaningful, Substantive Collaboration: Are We Moving in the Right Direction?

Welcome to Season 2 of "Reconciliation Road" with your host, Dan George. This season's theme is "collaboration." With over 30 years of experience working with First Nations across BC and Canada, Dan shares his insights on the importance of collaboration between First Nations and the Crown to achieve Nationhood, prosperity, and self-sufficiency.

For many years, ineffective policies, hostile negotiations, and outright opposition defined the relationship between First Nations and the Crown. However, recent investments in building relationships have begun to change this dynamic. Collaboration requires trust, which is challenging to cultivate given the historical context of hurt and oppression. Yet, there are successes we can learn from which demonstrate that investing in relationships can lead to significant progress.

Throughout four episodes, Dan interviews four trailblazers dedicated to reconciliation and creating a better future. Join us on this journey as we explore the art of the possible in reconciliation. Listen in for inspiring conversations and learn how meaningful connections are made through collaboration. Reconciliation is a journey, not a destination. Thank you for listening!
