Indian Affairs

Indian Affairs refers to the policies and actions taken by the government of a country, particularly in the United States and Canada, regarding Indigenous peoples and their rights, lands, and governance. This includes treaties, legal frameworks, and programs aimed at addressing historical injustices, promoting sovereignty, and improving socio-economic conditions for Indigenous communities. Indian Affairs often involves complex relationships between Indigenous nations and federal or provincial governments, focusing on issues like land claims, cultural preservation, and self-determination. The goal is often to rectify past grievances while fostering respectful partnerships and collaboration with Indigenous peoples.
