Abstract
Having worked in government policy for most of her career, Dr. Lewis will revisit historical examples of public policy that failed to meet the needs of Indigenous communities. Have things changed? Sadly, in many cases, they have not.
Drawing on case studies from across Canada, Dr. Lewis will examine how public policy continues to miss the mark and the consequences this can have for Indigenous communities. In an environment where major projects are increasingly being fast-tracked in the name of national unity and economic security, these policy gaps can place Indigenous communities at greater risk.
