Canada Endorses United Nations Declaration On The Rights Of Indigenous Peoples

The federal ministers of Indigenous and Northern Affairs and Justice confirmed today that Canada will “fully adopt and work to implement” the terms of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Carolyn Bennett and Jody Wilson-Raybould made the announcement at the United Nations in New York City on Monday afternoon.

“We want to demonstrate today and in these coming weeks our commitments to ensure that all Canadians have a truly concrete roadmap to reconcile with indigenous people,” said Bennett.

“I am pleased to confirm that tomorrow it is Canada’s intention to remove our permanent objector status and become a full supporter of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples,” she added.

The endorsement represents a shift in policy away from that of the Conservative government ...........

1. The world needs to see something real from Canada regarding reconciliation with Canada's victims,

just as this country has a long way to go, as well.

It's more important than the any of the racists of this hemisphere have been bright enough, decent enough to realize.
