At the core of this societal movement is the need to reconcile Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, nations, and ways of being and knowing. Reconciliation in Canada stems from growing recognition of the historical plight of Indigenous peoples through colonization, residential schooling, and other actions pursued to forcibly assimilate First Nations, M\u00e9tis, and Inuit peoples, as well as acknowledgment of the continued barriers to Indigenous peoples\u2019 wellbeing and success.<\/p>\n<p>Canada\u2019s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) (2008-2015) documented the many impacts of Indian Residential Schools, a state-sponsored assimilation strategy spanning the 19<sup>th<\/sup> and 20<sup>th<\/sup> centuries, and provided a framework for redress and reconciliation by publishing 94 Calls to Action. Of particular relevance to our work is Call to Action 92, which calls on corporate Canada to adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) as a framework for reconciliation, and instill it within corporate policies and processes. This includes engaging in meaningful consultation and obtaining Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) prior to launching economic development projects; ensuring equitable access to jobs, training, and education opportunities in the corporate sector; educating and training management and staff on the history of Indigenous peoples; and more.<\/p>\n<p>Many sectors, organizations, and individuals in Canadian society have taken great strides to redress wrongdoings against Indigenous peoples, and respect Indigenous rights and title. Indigenous peoples have, in their own right, pursued self-governance and self-determination through renewing Indigenous legal orders and governance structures, and reclaiming threatened languages and cultures. Yet historic exclusion from economic activities has slowed the emergence of a full, vibrant Indigenous economy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-28042\" src=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Reconciliation-and-Responsible-Investment-Initiative.png\" alt=\"Reconciliation and Responsible Investment Initiative\" width=\"472\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Reconciliation-and-Responsible-Investment-Initiative.png 540w, https:\/\/test.greenmoney.com\/2025\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Reconciliation-and-Responsible-Investment-Initiative-300x137.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px\" \/>Within the investment world, reconciliation in Canada is largely <a href=\"https:\/\/share.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/SHARE-CCAB-Report-HighQuality.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>in its infancy<\/strong><\/a>. As a result, in 2015, we founded the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reconciliationandinvestment.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reconciliation and Responsible Investment Initiative<\/a><\/strong>, which aims to align capital with Indigenous values. The Initiative has emerged through a partnership between the National Aboriginal Trust Officers Association (<strong>NATOA<\/strong>) and the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (<strong>SHARE<\/strong>). NATOA and SHARE have taken a multifaceted approach to reconciliation and responsible investment, working alongside Indigenous and non-Indigenous investors alike.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First, we aim to build investor leadership among Indigenous trusts as asset owners, supporting trusts\u2019 efforts to align investment with community values, development aspirations, and economic reconciliation at large.<\/strong> In Canada, Indigenous communities increasingly control pools of investment capital developed either through own-source revenues, specific or comprehensive claims, or other financial settlements. Collectively, Indigenous trusts in Canada are valued at billions of dollars. Trusts established by First Nations, M\u00e9tis, and Inuit communities are in a newfound position to increase Indigenous economic opportunities and exert influence as shareholders, all while fulfilling their fiduciary obligations and meeting financial goals. Trustees can thus mobilize a much larger pool of mainstream investment capital to support the growth of the Indigenous economy. To this end, our Initiative is facilitating dialogues and workshops with Indigenous trusts across Canada who wish to harness positive impact through responsible investment leadership.<\/p>\n<p>NATOA President Mark Sevestre also serves as General Manager for the Community Trust of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation (MCFN). In the last year, the MCFN Community Trust began re-evaluating their investment policy. MCFN is looking to ensure their values and priorities are represented not just in the disbursements they make in their community \u2013 such as in funding educational, health, and language programming \u2013 but in their investment portfolio as well. Active ownership of these financial resources leverages trusts\u2019 capacity to foster growth in line with Indigenous rights, values, and economic aspirations, delivering benefits well beyond those generated by trust incomes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Second, we are working with institutional investors across Canada to promote responsible investment policies and practices in alignment with reconciliation<\/strong>.

SHARE works with a network of over 100 investment organizations\u2013including foundations, religious investors, universities, pension funds, Indigenous trusts, and asset managers\u2013with more than $22.5 billion in assets to improve corporate sustainability practices. Investors collaborate to see corporations prioritize diversity criteria in board representation, establish scholarships and apprenticeship programs for Indigenous youth, set Indigenous procurement and employment targets for Indigenous peoples and businesses, and more.
