Unsettled: Journeys in Truth and Conciliation
Unsettled: Journeys in Truth and Conciliation builds upon the 94 calls to action of Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, from the perspectives of Indigenous cohost Jessica Vandenberghe, settler cohost George Lee, and their Indigenous and settler guests. We start from the belief that conciliation in Canada is an ongoing project, individually and collectively, as the country moves beyond colonial thinking to build a nation of nations—one free of racist, pro-assimiliation policies, and one that honours treaties and other commitments to Indigenous peoples.

Unsettled: Journeys in Truth and Conciliation
Episode 9: Our Journey So Far—A Bridges and Milestones Mini-Episode, feat. Jessica Vandenberghe and George Lee
Back in September 2020, an Indigenous engineer and a settler editor launched a decidedly idealistic podcast. One conversation at a time, they said, let's tackle racism and colonialism in Canada.
We'll base our podcast loosely on the calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We'll share our stories and the stories of our guests. And maybe, just maybe, along the way we'll open a few hearts and minds to the reimagining of Canada as an actual nation of nations.
Listen now to the penultimate episode of Season 1, as Jessica and George take a look back. With plans for a second season looming large, what have they learned, what has surprised them, and what do they continue to grapple with?
