The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada (2015) sought to address the legacy of Indian Residential Schools in Canada and to advance the process of reconciliation between Indigenous peoples in what is now known as Canada and settlers to the land. Of the TRC’s 94 Calls to Action, five pertain to sport. Over the past four years, our research team has examined sport for development (SFD) in Indigenous communities in Canada. During this time, we noted a trend whereby governments, NGOs, and private sector businesses have been engaging in a wide-range of activities related to SFD that they have labelled as supporting reconciliation and the TRC’s Calls to Action. We argue that many of these activities have little to do with reconciliation and instead reinscribe colonial relations of power. In this presentation, we will outline three particularly egregious examples that we found in our research that illustrate our point [I’m thinking of the gas station, Right to Play getting gov’t funding, and then just the general extractives support for SFD piece with quotes from Rob’s interviews]. Sadly, far from promoting reconciliation between Indigenous peoples and settlers, we assert that the “power of sport” is being leveraged to subjugate Indigenous peoples and to justify the destruction of their traditional territories.
