Abstract

For two centuries, in Canada, the Indigenous Peoples have been converted and deprived of their rights. Since the 1970s, the Indian awakening has contributed to the rise of the Indigenous' intellectual elite and lead to the publication of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada in 2012. Since, several Canadian social and federal organizations attempt to answer the different demands concerning their respective fields. To address the issue, many Canadian information services have implemented a wide variety of initiatives. However, Indigenous issues remains unknown for many information professionals. In addition, their in-library operationalization seems to be a delicate task for which few professionals feel prepared. To demystify these issues and inspire their operationalization, a literature and initiatives review was conducted. The present text proposes a synthesis of indigenous issues for the information professional and the library. It then identifies a list of initiatives that contribute to answer the demands of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada report. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
