In the summer of 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) delivered a summary of its final report on the history and legacy of Indian residential schools. The commissioners argue that all Canadians have a role to play in the project of reconciliation. We suggest that economists and other similar quantitative social scientists are in a unique position to contribute to this project, and we offer some thoughts on the role they can play, summarize the current data available, and discuss how new data may be created. We then discuss what challenges economists and others may face when working with Indigenous data and how these might be navigated.
