The Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples

The Report of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, released in 1996, was a comprehensive investigation into the history, issues, and future of Indigenous peoples in Canada. It examined the impacts of colonization, government policies, and social challenges faced by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities. The report emphasized the importance of respecting Indigenous rights, culture, and self-determination, and recommended actions to promote reconciliation, improve living conditions, and support Indigenous governance. Its goal was to foster understanding and foster a more equitable relationship between Indigenous peoples and Canadian society.
