Recommendation 14:
Restitution should be embedded in fee structures. Indigenous artists should receive higher resale fees, especially communities that have been historically exploited by the market (such as Inuit).

- Developing culturally appropriate curricula.
- Protecting the right to Aboriginal languages, including the teaching of Aboriginal languages as credit courses.
- Enabling parental and community responsibility, control, and accountability, similar to what parents enjoy in public school systems.
- Enabling parents to fully participate in the education of their children.
- Respecting and honouring Treaty relationships.

Recommendation 3:
Put the onus of learning on the actors within cultural institutions. Avoid tasking the decolonizing of an entire organization on one employee especially within Canada’s long running heritage institutions, museums, publications, and galleries, which will have deeply entrenched cultures of white supremacy.
- Avoid the single Indigenous hire into segregated positions. Only diverse, block hires of Black and Indigenous peoples moving forward, coinciding with the realization that this might mean the radical restructuring of institutions (such as retirements and staff changes), and the implementations of Indigenous and Black peoples throughout organizations in self-determined ways.
- Respect the interests of diverse Black and Indigenous peoples, and their varying desires to participate in diversity and decolonizing measures (i.e. Indigenous specific departments and programs, or self-determined integration into wider institutional spaces away from a focus on Indigenous issues).

Recommendation 18:
Publicly profile and promote union and labour council’s support and efforts in fighting discrimination against Muslims; sending a strong signal to everyone in the community. For example, write a letter to the editor or an opinion piece for local media, co-author it with community allies to show there is widespread support, organize a public statement (like a news release) to publicize your support efforts locally and how that connects with efforts across the country.
