Reconciliation
Royal Proclamation and Covenant of Reconciliation
47. We call upon federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal governments to repudiate concepts used to justify European sovereignty over Indigenous peoples and lands, such as the Doctrine of Discovery and terra nullius, and to reform those laws, government policies, and litigation strategies that continue to rely on such concepts.
At this time, no level of government has repudiated the concepts used to assert European sovereignty over Indigenous peoples and lands, but Canadian courts, churches and other groups have independently rejected such concepts.
