How did decolonization happen in Canada?

Decolonization in Canada primarily unfolded through a gradual recognition of Indigenous rights and self-determination, particularly from the mid-20th century onwards. Key milestones included the establishment of treaties, land claims agreements, and the patriation of the Constitution in 1982, which included the recognition of Indigenous rights. Grassroots movements and activism by Indigenous peoples played a crucial role in advocating for sovereignty, cultural revitalization, and social justice, fostering a re-examination of colonial narratives. Although progress continues, the journey towards true decolonization remains ongoing, marked by challenges and the need for reconciliation.
