Aboriginal Affairs

Aboriginal Affairs refers to the government policies, programs, and initiatives focused on supporting the rights, well-being, and cultural preservation of Indigenous peoples—such as First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities in Canada. It aims to address historical injustices, promote self-governance, improve health, education, and economic opportunities, and recognize Indigenous sovereignty and cultural heritage. These efforts seek to build respectful, equitable relationships between Indigenous communities and the broader society, fostering reconciliation and ensuring Indigenous voices are heard and respected in decision-making processes.
