Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to examine and engage with the concept of reconciliation as it arises in the Canadian legal discourse on Aboriginal rights up to 2008. More specifically, there is actually a set of conceptions, in the plural, of "reconciliation" being applied in case law on section 35, the Aboriginal rights provision of the Constitution Act, 1982. However, there are ways to work toward synthesizing these conceptions.
