Protected areas have been both tools and beneficiaries of settler colonialism in places such as Canada, Australia, and the United States, to the detriment of Indigenous nations. While some agencies, such as Parks Canada, increasingly partner with Indigenous nations through co-management agreements or on Indigenous knowledge use in protected area management, I believe such efforts fall short of reconciliation. For protected areas to reconcile with Indigenous Peoples, they must not incorporate Indigeneity into existing settler-colonial structures. Instead, agencies must commit to an Indigenous-centered project of truth telling, acknowledging harm, and providing for justice. I begin this article by outlining what is meant by reconciliation. I then argue for protected area-Indigenous reconciliation. I conclude with a framework for Indigenous–settler reconciliation within protected areas.

反思，确认与正义：土著保护地区和解的框架

在加拿大，澳大利亚和美国等地区，保护区既是定居者殖民主义的工具，又是受益者，这有损于土著民族。尽管某些机构，例如加拿大公园，通过共同管理协议或关于保护区管理中的土著知识使用与土著国家建立越来越多的伙伴关系，但我认为这种努力缺乏和解。为了使保护区与原住民和解，他们不得将原住民纳入现有的定居者殖民结构中。相反，代理机构必须致力于以原住民为中心的真相讲述，承认伤害和伸张正义的项目。在本文开头，我概述了和解的含义。然后，我主张保护区－土著和解。
