Wondering if the second article here “A summary of the Royal proclamation” should have a different link attached to it. When I click on it, it takes me to an article on the Royal Commission. I did a quick search of the site and found this article which does provide a summary of the royal proclamation. https://thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/royal-proclamation-of-1763-plain-language-summary
Thanks for all the resources and challenging us to dig deeper!
This first section has really given me a different perspective on the relationship between the indigenous communities and British/Canadian government. I understand more the reasons for deep mistrust from the indigenous communities.
Great section – I have not learned about RCAP before. Erasmus is right – there has not been a government that has the political will to implement the recommendations. Canadians need to understand that the longer it takes, the more tragic it is in addition to the increasing cost (in lives and resources) of not doing so.

Very interesting how the Canadian government cruelly treated the fist Canadian people
The most profound concept here is that we should have acted on the recommendations and if not we will be looking at the same issues in 20 years.

Thanks Peter, you’re right! It’s fixed now.
