The Center recognizes the legacy of residential schools in Canada is part of a global systemic pattern of cultural erasure, reflected in U.S. boarding schools and similar institutional violence worldwide.

Land-related conflicts are marked by murders of Indigenous leaders, violence, political unrest, and clashes over resource development. Helping Indigenous communities gain legal title to their lands is critical to addressing these conflicts. These human rights abuses must come to an end.

Keeping Indigenous lands in Indigenous ownership is critical to Indigenous peoples’ physical and cultural survival as well as to preventing land-related conflicts, meeting conservation goals, and combating climate change.
