Indigineous rights need action, not speeches

 

Ten years is too long to wait. The tenth anniversary of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples should be an impossible-to-ignore call to Prime Minister Trudeau. Indigenous communities as equal partners is a requisite part of reconciliation and a priority for us.

Saying Canada supports UNDRIP is not enough. It is vital that the Trudeau government pass Bill C-262, which will see Canada putting its money where its mouth is. Time to do the right thing, Mr Prime Minister.
