28: A Call to Action Indigenous Initiatives Office + Indigenous Law Students Association
-
- Education
28 is a podcast for law students, professors, lawyers and non-law folks who want to learn more about the truth that is necessary for reconciliation. 28 is a collaboration between the Indigenous Initiatives Office and the Indigenous Law Students' Association at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law. 28 is part of our work in response to Call to Action #28 from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada:"We call upon law schools in Canada to require all law students to take a course in Aboriginal people and the law, which includes the history and legacy of residential schools, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Treaties and Aboriginal rights, Indigenous law, and Aboriginal–Crown relations. This will require skills-based training in intercultural competency, conflict resolution, human rights, and antiracism."
