Ladner reminds us that reconciliation is not a destination, a policy achievement, or a symbolic gesture. It is an ongoing process of\u202fbeing and becoming\u2014one that demands responsibility, remembrance, and transformative change rather than convergence or assimilation.<\/p>\n<p>This closing conversation asks us to sit with the hard questions raised throughout the series:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What does it mean to live together in a mutually agreeable and mutually beneficial way on Indigenous lands?<\/li>\n<li>Why does meaningful reconciliation require unsettling national myths and confronting uncomfortable histories?<\/li>\n<li>What responsibilities do individuals, communities, and institutions carry in sustaining just relationships\u2014now and into the future?<\/li>\n<li>And how do Indigenous teachings, stories, and laws grounded in the land point toward different possibilities for governance, kinship, and coexistence?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Rather than offering final answers, this session creates space for collective reflection. It invites our audience to consider how the teachings shared throughout Season 6 might be carried forward\u2014into your daily life, community work, and long-term commitments.<\/p>\n<p>This closing gathering is not an ending, but a moment of orientation: an invitation to proceed with care, humility, and intention as we continue the shared work of living well together.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button register\" href=\"https:\/\/virl.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_Aas8FWP2QaS5Lhwl-zgU_g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Register Now<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>Use the code Resurgence2026 to get 20% off your purchase through University of Toronto Press, plus, get free shipping on orders over $40<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"book-details\">\n<div class=\"cover book-item\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"width: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/resurgence-reconcilation-bcover.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"book-info book-item\">\n<div class=\"title\">Resurgence and Reconciliation: Indigenous\u2013Settler Relations and Earth Teachings<\/div>\n<p>Edited by Michael Asch, John Borrows and James Tully<\/p>\n<div class=\"purchase\"><a class=\"button purchase\" href=\"https:\/\/utppublishing.com\/doi\/book\/10.3138\/9781487523275\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy a Copy<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"borrow\"><a class=\"button borrow\" href=\"https:\/\/search.virl.bc.ca\/search\/card?id=4250dc8b-3ef9-58de-b649-ecd8b9c47799&amp;entityType=FormatGroup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Borrow a Copy<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-lg-4 col-md-4 about-bg\">\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: auto;\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-757\" src=\"https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Keira-Ladner-Headshot-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"170\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Keira-Ladner-Headshot-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Keira-Ladner-Headshot-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Keira-Ladner-Headshot-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Keira-Ladner-Headshot-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/trc57speakerseries.ca\/sandbox\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Keira-Ladner-Headshot.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 170px) 100vw, 170px\" \/>Dr. Kiera Ladner\u00a0<\/strong><span data-contrast=\"auto\">is Canada Research Chair in Miyo\u00a0we\u2019citowin, Indigenous Governance and Digital Sovereignties and an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba.
