“…Exploring the challenges in reconciliation can lead to understanding why I should be responsible for it. There are many immigrants, refugees and settlers who have not had an opportunity to learn why we need reconciliation or why we need to understand the challenges in reconciliation from Indigenous perspectives in Canada (Abu-Laban, 2018). This lack of learning can lead to many misconceptions about Indigenous peoples, their culture, and the meaning of reconciliation.…”

Although a great number of academic researchers have introduced reconciliation in their work, they have not explained what it means from Indigenous perspectives. How do we need to understand and practise it in oureveryday practice? Why should we all, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, practise land-based and antiracist learning—as a system of reciprocal social relations and ethical practices—as a framework for reconciliation? This article initiates these transdisciplinary questions that challenge not only our static science and social science mindsets, but also the responsibilities for reconciliation, including building respectful relationships with Indigenous people, respecting Indigenous treaties, taking actions to decolonise our ways of knowing and acting, learning the role of colonised education processes, and protecting Indigenous land and environment rights.

“…Correspondingly, it is settler‐colonies which have embraced national discourses highlighting their status as “nations of immigrants.” Moreover, while myths relating to a common origin are expressed in many countries not formed as settler‐colonies, settler‐colonies have instead tended to embrace a myth of a common destiny (Stasiulis and Yuval‐Davis, 1995). This common destiny may be seen in the way the idea of the US as a melting pot gained popular purchase in the US at about the same moment in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century as the idea of Canada as a mosaic gained popular purchase (Abu‐Laban, 2018). At that time, both countries were for the first time experiencing the arrival of more immigrants from eastern and southern Europe.…”

It is now common to identify a policy convergence around migration which is eroding the longstanding distinction made in the migration literature between "traditional" countries of immigration (like Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United States) and other Western states. Taking the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as instructive, this article focusses on the case of Canada, arguing that its settler-colonial foundation has impacted and continues to impact three areas relevant to the comparative study of migration: 1) national discourse; 2) land and forms of social power; and 3) politics and forms of solidarity. The implications of settler-colonialism for the study of international migration are broader than the case of Canada and suggest the need to link considerations of Indigeneity systematically in migration studies, and to address the particularities of settler-colonial states in relation to other Northern states by being attuned to "divergence within convergence."
