This report examines how Parks Canada’s commitment to reconciliation represents a shift from a colonial approach to one that respects Indigenous governance and knowledge systems. It questions whether the current co-management model, based on land claims, can truly support reconciliation. Using the Ethical Space framework, this report examines the relationship dynamics between Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation and Parks Canada in managing Vuntut National Park. Through interviews with community members and park managers, it identifies factors that help or hinder relationship building and highlights structural challenges, such as governance discrepancies, scale issues, and financial and capacity constraints, that impact the potential for reconciliation in co-management arrangements.
