So I think what many civic governments think of as a waste of time. Think of it this way: if a mayor shows up, we're not going to expect you to make decisions right away.
Ever wondered what true reconciliation looks like in municipal governance? In this episode of MuniCast, Niigaanwewidam Sinclair from the University of Winnipeg sheds light on how communities can genuinely honor treaties and work hand-in-hand with First Nation partners. With a respectful approach to tough topics, Sinclair dives into the differences between First Nations and municipal governments, the importance of urban reserves, and the historical impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities.
He emphasizes the need for municipal leaders to listen and learn from Indigenous peoples, stressing that building relationships is key. 'If a mayor shows up, we're not going to expect you to make decisions right away', Sinclair notes, highlighting the importance of understanding and honoring history. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in fostering a more collaborative and respectful future in municipal governance.
