In recognition of the upcoming National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, every week this month we are highlighting books in the EMR Library collection that support remembrance, reflection and practical steps to advance reconciliation. This week we would like to recommend "52 ways to reconcile: how to walk with Indigenous peoples on the path to healing" by David A. Robertson. This book offers practical suggestions for readers interested in learning more about reconciliation and strengthening relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Organized around 52 achievable actions, one for each week of the year, the book encourages reflection, learning and meaningful engagement with Indigenous histories, cultures and perspectives. Accessible and approachable, it provides a useful starting point for anyone seeking to better understand reconciliation in their everyday lives. For more information or to borrow this book, contact the EMR Library. Email [email protected] or call 867-667-3111.
