In this article, the authors share their research on a curriculum for social justice, truth, and then reconciliation as put forth by the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society (Caring Society). The Caring Society is a non-profit organization that advocates for equity and social justice for First Nations children and creates social justice educational materials for Canadian learners. The authors provide an overview of the Caring Society campaigns and educational research.

People of all ages, including children, can participate in meaningful reconciliation activities by learning about reconciliation and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action, learning about the history of Canada from a variety of viewpoints, and learning about fun and engaging ways to get involved. Resources and activities for Early Childhood learners may include those that teach about Indigenous history and culture, expand on concepts like justice and fairness, and encourage asking questions. 

In the First Nations Session Summary report in "Informing Canada's Anti-Racism Strategy",  the Spirit Plan to end inequalities for First Nations children and families is mentioned.
