Canadian Decolonization: The Path to Indigenous Recognition and Sovereignty

Key Points

Decolonization theory emphasizes the need for legal reforms to acknowledge Indigenous sovereignty.
Canada's history includes attempts at reconciliation, like the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and public apologies.
Sovereignty for Indigenous peoples requires concrete legal actions, not just symbolic gestures.
Current approaches to Indigenous rights often fall short, necessitating systemic changes to achieve true recognition.

Abstract

How can Indigenous peoples acquire recognition and sovereignty within Canada? The heinous treatment of Indigenous Canadians is well documented. Thankfully, Canada has progressed from this horrific past. Whether it was Stephen Harper’s public apology in 2008, the establishment of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, or Justin Trudeau’s 2015 campaign promise of a “nation-to-nation” approach, Canada has tried to repair past wrongs. However, this is not enough. By relying on decolonization theory, this paper explains that Canada must change its process for adjudicating legal affairs if Indigenous peoples are to have their rights respected, guaranteed, and upheld as sovereign peoples.
