The CBA developed this accredited series in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action. The six online modules use videos and quizzes to introduce you to the history of Indigenous peoples and demystify some of the legal issues surrounding the Canadian Constitution, the Indian Act, treaties and rulings by the Supreme Court of Canada.
