- Written primarily by current Royal Society of Canada members, these essays explore the historical contribution of the RSC to the production of ideas and policies that shored up white settler privilege, underpinning the disastrous interaction between Indigenous peoples and white settlers. Royally Wronged poses difficult questions about what is required to move meaningfully toward reconciliation.
