Abstract
This article reviews *Royally Wronged: The Royal Society of Canada and Indigenous Peoples*, a collection of essays examining the Royal Society of Canada’s (RSC) historical treatment of Indigenous peoples and knowledge within the context of Canadian colonialism. The book traces the RSC’s origins and its role in marginalizing Indigenous perspectives, highlighting figures such as Duncan Campbell Scott, whose leadership in both the RSC and the Department of Indian Affairs contributed to Indigenous dispossession. The essays explore themes of resilience and resurgence, emphasizing the need for reparative history and the recognition of Indigenous agency. The work concludes with a dialogue about the symbolic artwork of Coast Salish artist Shain Jackson, underscoring a collective commitment to mutual support and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities.
