The RSC is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Murray Sinclair, former senator, trusted leader, and commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada.
The news comes at a time when we are convening with leading Indigenous scholars from Australia and Aotearoa (New Zealand) with a view to enhance the implementation of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the right to participate. Our aspiration is to pursue this work in keeping with the tremendous impact of Mr. Sinclair’s life and work.
The RSC extends its deepest condolences to the family and community of Mr. Sinclair. His legacy will continue to impact reconciliation for generations.
