In our "multicultural paradise" we forget we live in a culture of isolation, rooted in hegemony, that makes Indigenous 2nd class. #llcu322

[Emma Chorneyko @llcu322echorney]

It is important as a settler forging solidarity to realize that non-natives must be accountable to Indigenous People.

I don't know if it's necessary for Canada's settlers to feel guilty for ancestors actions, but being responsible today is crucial.

Is mandatory learning a good way to increase settlers' awareness of Canada's Indigenous Peoples?

"Reconciliation is about forging and maintaining respectful relationships.
There are no shortcuts." -Justice Murray Sinclair #LLCU322

[Emma Chorneyko @llcu322echorney]

Unlike 'reconciliation,' the word 'conciliation' suggests a perpetual process and does not imply harmony ever existed.

How can one engage with testimony without turning real wounds into objects of consumption and subjects of analysis?

[Emma Chorneyko @llcu322echorney]

Unlike other TRC's we've looked at, Canada's consists of "public display of victims but not perpetrators"

Ashes in Melora are the remains of violence, the memory of it. It means the violence is over but nothing can grow from ash

Elektra: "How can we move on until the debt is paid?"
Is punishment a prerequisite for reconciliation?
#llcu322

[Emma Chorneyko @llcu322echorney]

Klytamnestra and Elektra see themselves as women in a man's world where violence "will always be men's only truth".

Forgiveness is by individuals, amnesty is by the state, reconcilation requires both.

Years after the TRC, victims of these crimes are still fighting for reparation #LLCU322 https://t.co/sveTbUpk7v

Restorative justice vs. retributive justice, the TRC vs. Nuremberg trials. Stark contrasts that anyone can see #LLCU322

[Emma Chorneyko @llcu322echorney]

The TRC claimed independence from international law in order to provide for amnesty. Is the relevance of such law in question?
#llcu322

[Emma Chorneyko @llcu322echorney]

Despite beginning with a mandate of "conflicts of the past" the TRC was crucially later able to directly acknowledge apartheid.
#llcu322

[Emma Chorneyko @llcu322echorney]

The South African TRC took on a great challenge when it set out to avoid both excusing evil and pursuing relentless revenge.

"but that's how all guilty men talk." #llcu322 How can the law remain unprejudiced when the people don't?

"Before the Law," everyone is the doorkeeper, as everyone should acknowledge that they have to open the door by themselves. #llcu322
