    2. Consider the Truth and Reconciliation Commission\u2019s 94 Calls to Action you reviewed earlier in this guide. How have your view and approached changed?<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

      1. Using the Indigenous Adult and Higher Learning Association Toolkit [PDF]<\/a> Appendix 3, apply relevant categories to your research design. Are there areas that diverged from or intersected your research inquiry?<\/li>\r\n \t
      2. Set some strategies for establishing community relationships.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n \r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
