Sharing the Land, Sharing a Future – a national forum hosted by several organizations and academic institutions including Queen’s University and its School of Policy Studies – was held recently in Winnipeg. The national forum explored the legacy and impact of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP), which issued its final report 20 years ago. The forum included several panels and ceremonies, including a tribute to the commissioners who served on the RCAP as well as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The national forum also featured the launch of the RCAP publications, testimony, research by Library and Archives Canada. The material, which has been inaccessible for years, can now be viewed using a searchable online database hosted on the Library and Archives Canada website.
