OTTAWA – Indigenous youth across Canada have a drastically different opinion about reconciliation than they did five years ago.
That’s according to the results of a nationwide survey that has been released.
Indigenous Youth Roots (IYR) gathered data from a total of 1,125 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis youth aged 18-29 from across the country. The 2024 survey was considered the largest Indigenous youth-led research initiative in Canada.
Upon compiling results, the IYR, a national non-profit and registered charity, released a report in mid-February titled, Indigenous Youth Reconciliation Barometer: Building Connected Futures.
