Attention is given to the diverse cultural heritages of Indigenous peoples in Canada, historical and contemporary aspects of Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal relations, and ongoing processes of reconciliation in both national and church contexts. Also considered are Christian theologies of intercultural and interfaith engagements, related to building relationships of solidarity and justice between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in Canada.
