 Other scholars, however, argue that it is possible to achieve successful reconciliation through democratic deliberation and procedures. In This Is Not a Peace Pipe: Towards a Critical Indigenous Philosophy (2006) Dale Turner suggests that the way to undermine the power dynamics that perpetuate the conditions of colonialism is through the participation within the legal and political institutions of the Canadian state. Turner argues that “word warriors,” who mediate between Indigenous communities and legal and political institutions, should ensure the preservation and expansion of Indigenous rights within the larger community. Turner argues that an effective relationship between the Canadian and Indigenous peoples will only emerge out of a dialogue grounded in democratic presumptions of equality and respect. This dialogue entails that Indigenous peoples, to establish claims of cultural distinctiveness, learn how to engage within the Canadian’s state’s legal and political discourses in more effective ways (2006:5).
