Aboriginal Heritage Act

The Aboriginal Heritage Act is a law that protects the cultural heritage of Aboriginal peoples. It recognizes and conserves sites, objects, and traditions that are important to Aboriginal communities, such as sacred sites, artifacts, and traditional practices. The Act requires that before any development or land use, assessments are conducted to identify and manage potential impacts on Aboriginal heritage. By doing so, it aims to promote respect for Aboriginal history and culture, ensuring that these important aspects are preserved for future generations.
