What could restitution look like?  How does the Truth and Reconciliation  Committee define reconciliation?

" The TRC hopes to guide and inspire Aboriginal peoples and Canadians in a process of reconciliation and renewed relationships that are based on mutual understanding and respect" .http://www.trc.ca/websites/trcinstitution/index.php?p=10

Some opposing views from Indigenous scholars :  

Jeff Corntassel (2012) Tsalagi (Cherokee Nation) 

"Reconciliation without meaningful restitution merely reinscribes the status quo without holding anyone accountable for ongoing injustices. At its core, reconciliation has a religious connotation premised on restoring one’s relationship with God. In fact, most Indigenous nations don’t have words for reconciliation in their languages, which is the truest test of its lack of relevance to communities" (p. 87).  

Tai Alfred (2005)  Kahnawake (Mohawk Nation) 

“The logic of reconciliation as justice is clear: without massive restitution, including land, financial transfers and other forms of assistance to compensate for past harms and continuing injustices committed against our peoples, reconciliation would permanently enshrine colonial injustices and is itself a further injustice” (p. 152).
