Reconciliation attempts had begun in the 1980s with church apologies for what had been done to Aboriginal peoples.[1] From 1986-1994, The United Church, the Catholic Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, the Anglican Church, and the Presbyterian Church had formally apologized for participating in the residential school system.

In summer of 1990, the Oka crisis had took place when the Mohawks of Kanesatake had confronted the government about their land claims and recognition of territory.[1]The government of Canada had created a Royal Commission to look into the state affairs with Aboriginal peoples in Canada.[1] By 1996, the Royal Commission had presented a clear vision for reconciliation.
