A practical guide to allyship and reconciliation

Rose LeMay frames reconciliation as ongoing work, connecting the history shared by Indigenous peoples and colonial governments with inequities in present-day workplaces and communities. The guide places particular responsibility on non-Indigenous people and explores ways to respond when racism occurs, handle emotions that arise in allyship, and contribute to equity and inclusion as a team member. Its emphasis is on translating continued learning into concrete participation in everyday settings.
