Editorial: Reflection, Reconciliation, and Renewal

Abstract

The theme of Reflection, Reconciliation, and Renewal for this volume of the Canadian Journal of Native Education (CJNE) brings together the past, pres­ent, and future, through my personal reflections as the CJNE theme editor for almost 25 years. This volume presents previously published CJNE arti­cles that address some aspect of reconciliation related to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC, 2015) and renewal consider­ations for the CJNE. This editorial will be my last as the senior theme editor. Before I begin this editorial, I acknowledge that the land on which the University of British Columbia (UBC) is situated is on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam First Nation. This beau­tiful land meets the majestic Pacific Ocean every day. Often eagles can be seen flying overhead.
