The Calls to Action provide data and map experts with the opportunity to build relationships, collaborate, and participate in the reconciliation process and as well as advance the cause of social justice of indigenous peoples in Canada and abroad. This presentation will discuss several Calls to Actions that are of particular relevance to individuals in the map and data services community, specifically the Actions that refer to microdata, aggregate data, and cartographic information about residential schools and the legacy of residential schools on Indigenous people in Canada. This presentation will highlight datasets that require better access, as well as priority data and cartographic resources that need to be rescued. These data and resources are essential so that, the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation can fulfill their mandate, educators can provide enriched curricular materials for students, academic researchers have access to quality data, and Indigenous Canadians can tell their own stories.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 CanadaResearch Subject Categories::SOCIAL SCIENCES::Statistics, computer and systems science::StatisticsResearch Subject Categories::SOCIAL SCIENCES::Other social sciences::Library and information scienceTruth and ReconciliationResearch Subject CategoriesResearch Subject CategoriesTruth and ReconciliationPresentation
