Canadian Indigenous Rights

Canadian Indigenous rights recognize the unique cultural, spiritual, and historical ties Indigenous peoples have to their lands and communities. These rights include self-governance, protection of traditional practices, and access to natural resources. They are rooted in treaties, historical agreements, and legal principles that affirm Indigenous peoples' sovereignty and address past injustices. The Canadian government is committed to respecting these rights, promoting reconciliation, and ensuring Indigenous communities can preserve their identities while participating fully in Canadian society.
