While the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) released its 94 calls to action in 2015, many youth and millennials indicate that they haven’t seen significant meaningful change. This innovative project plans to address these concerns by: training and equipping youth to interview Elders and other local leaders to help paint a picture of the progress that has been made toward truth and reconciliation; convening youth and Elders to prepare a report that outlines their findings; and hosting a forum where youth and Elders present their report to leaders of the territorial and municipal governments, youth-based NGOs and Yukon First Nation governments – with the aim of having government incorporate the findings into government plans and processes. This project will produce practical and culturally-relevant recommendations to help government leaders create a better future for all Yukoners.
