Apart from donating to Indigenous-led organizations, education is another form of reparation that non-Indigenous Canadians can strive to participate in indefinitely. With a wealth of texts (novels, memoirs, reports, etc.), television shows, documentaries and podcasts available, there is lots to choose from.
