Upholding Sacred Obligations: Volume 1
Upholding Sacred Obligations: Volume 2
Executive Summary
This Final Report examined four elements of reparation that when woven together form the
foundation of an Indigenous-led Reparations Framework for truth, accountability, justice,
and reconciliation:
1. Activating and enforcing international obligations;
2. Implementing Indigenous laws and decolonizing the Canadian legal framework;
3. Finding truth, rematriating lands, and repatriating the children; and
4. Supporting Indigneous-led healing and countering settler amnesty.
Implementing each of these four elements into the new framework is essential and can be
achieved by adherence to the obligations identified below.
