- On National Indigenous Peoples Day on Wednesday, the Canadian government released its action plan on implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). The government presented its draft to chiefs gathered for a meeting of the Assembly of First Nations, following feedback the government received on a draft of the plan in April.
“This represents a historic moment. This is a transformational document that holds potential and opportunity beyond the words written within its pages,” Minister of Justice David Lametti said.
“Undoing 150 years of colonialism doesn’t happen in the life of a single government. As I've said before, we have to identify and strip away layer after layer. But the last two years have convinced me that we need a way and a process for this to happen," he added.
“I want you to know that not 100 per cent of First Nations are in agreement with the UNDA (United Nations Declarations Act). Some are even in disagreement with the UNDRIP itself, because it doesn’t honour the sovereignty of First Nations,” Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief RoseAnne Archibald said. “However, the majority of First Nations have supported this process.”
“We have to walk these roads together with deep respect for one another, and I believe we have this commitment from this government,” Archibald added in her remarks.

This country continues to rot from wokeness.
Oh dear that's a bad outcome for Canada.
I love that they first asked for money.
What does this mean for people who are immigrants to canada ?
You will not own any private property. Everything will be taken away
It means we might be slowly moving toward recognizing and respecting distinct and diverse peoples. New Canadians have the advantage of learning about Indigenous peoples without having inherited generations of entrenched racism.
@janicevictor6764 LOL that's a scam and a lie. The only land assigned by God is the land of Israel to the Jewish people. Everything else is up for grabs. To the victor go the spoils.
@@janicevictor6764like how they will learn about the "unmarked graves" being an old apple orchard? With no bodies/bones actually being there? This is a scam. Noone alive today knows what happened. The people talking weren't even a thought. Let alone the main bans sold everything they had for consumer products instead of making their own culture like the Metis people did.
@@planetruther You already don't own any private property when you purchase property you own the house or buildings, but you do not own the land, you get rights to use the land but it remained as Crown land, now it will be called indigenous land instead, but as we seen today with the Haida agreement and returning rightful sovereignty to the Haidas 200 islands, fee simple land owners won't be affected, and services will still be administered by the province, this all is about returning sovereignty and there is no way to stop it as colonialism was outlawed post WW2 by the league of nations. Don't be afraid, the conspiracy this is so the UN can take the land is not founded in fact, believe me I have looked deeply into this. But with our returned rightful sovereignty we have great responsibility to everyone who calls our sacred land home, also our rights are not automatic we have to exercise and enforce them.
And nothing of substance will change on the ground, because announcing things and virtue signalling is all this federal government is good at.
Now that in the far north 2 million square miles are returned to indigenous sovereignty, and 200 islands to Haida sovereignty do you still believe it is just virtue signaling, Candian law is under UNDRIP not UNDRIP will be under Canadian law.
I suddenly do not feel empathy for any abuse aboriginal people have suffered. Or any future actions as they think they can kick people out of there homes. This fool won't give up his home.
You will own nothing and you will be happy.
First of all anyone whose grandparents lived in Canada are ethnic Canadians .
no that is not true friend, indigenous sovereignty to a land is defined internationally as peoples who inhabited lands since time memorial to present day, your grandparents is 2 generations compared to 100s of generations, even though I understand the fear of Canadians the Crown should of informed you all what it means to be Canadian the truth of this land, and the fact you have no sovereignty, your monarch is your sovereign, and us indigenous have inherent sovereign rights to our homeland.
@@benjaminh4537 Well I am not sure which tribe you belong to but I reside in Dene language area , so the athabaskan dialect has spread far and wide but its generally understood that it originated with the Ket peoples of siberia who immigrated over here across the bering so while yes you have been here longer then my viking forefathers its hardly since time immemorial . I guess because the vikings tended to travel around a lot from land to land I see myself as being from this world and will never expect any favors from the countries we traveled through which incedentally included a stop here long before columbus .
@@benjaminh4537 on the other hand I am getting fed up eoth paying taxes to this current federal government .
@@winstonskafte5505 I am Ojibway and Cree, oddly enough the Vikings that came here are said to have been bread out by my tribe whether that is true or not who know, but my lineage goes back at least 25000 years here, it is the same for many tribes, the oldest known ancestor of our people here is 50000 years old, and new archeological finds suggest even 130000 but more tests have to be done, the land bridge theory was debunked within the last 10 years, they believe we either originated in the south or traveled by boat. And the world has without question named us the indigenous people of this land, and it is enshrined in our sovereign rights of UNDRIP which Canadian law must adhere to and its laws must be inline with UNDRIP, it is not under Canadian law but is international law above domestic law.
I don't get what they hate. They drive cars, use cell phones, have TV's, live in houses, go to hospitals, etc like the rest of us do. Seems to me they like Colonialism. Only a narcissist thinks they are in some way different (unique and special) from everybody else.
The chiefs literally beat a victim mentality into them.
Why even bother watching then if you've made up your mind and are unwilling to listen and learn? Not everyone experiences the world like you do.
educate yourself on the facts, this is not victim hood or hating of anything, this is all about sovereignty and sovereign rights to our homeland, children, future, resources and destinies. We decide not a foreign colonial system, not to mention the world is eradicating colonialism once and for all, as it has been illegal internationally since post WW2. The Canadian citizen is not a sovereign being, nor has it ever held sovereignty over these lands, sovereignty and land ownership walks hand in hand, your sovereign is the foreign monarchy and even then the foreign monarchy is not sovereign in these lands, Crown land is indigenous land held in trust by the Crown, why do you think 94% of the land is inaccessible or not available for purchase to Canadians, because it has always been indigenous land since time memorial.
The First Nations and the other tribes contribute greatly and should be treated fairly
They’re the laziest people in Canada.
What's the definition of "indigenous" in Canada? If there is no definition, what's to stop migrants from claiming the land if they self declare indigenous status? Perhaps this will end up badly for everyone
No this is wrong indigenous is defined in Bill c 15 and the constitution act of 1982 as first nations, Inuit and Meti.
Indi means black, indigenous means black genius. The real indigenous built the pyramids, pagodas, temples, cathedrals, infrastructure, language, culture, knowledge, music and so on, pretty much everything.
MORE JAIL FOR ALL CANADIANS.
Strange when indigenous make up over half of all incarcerations, there has been judicial racism for generations but today it is no more today we finally decide our destiny.
God sent the colonization of Europeans to bring the gospel of Jesus christ to those in need of redemption. He will not apologize for doing so. It is a shame that the vatican worked hard to give christianity a bad name, but that really shouldn't define christianity. We've all seen the terrorism they inflicted upon European people as well. Jesus said, do unto others as you would have done unto you, ok, so the vatican burns protestants alive tied to a post, how exactly does that fit into what Jesus said?
onds ago
Jesus was not from Europe, nor did he set foot there. If he did exist it would have been from the middle east to west India. As Billy Graham once said, "Jesus was not a white man". Stop spreading your disinformation. Indigenous ppl did not need redemption nor Europeans. They have done just fine without your fairy tales for 10,000+ years.
Jesus has nothing to do with this land or us indigenous people, any form of religious justification for colonization has been denounced and revoked to the letter, this is not gods land friend this is the creators land and we the creators people.
@@benjaminh4537 there are no native people and most certainly no indigenous people in the entirety of North America! All emigrated here. King David said, only the fool says in his heart that there is no God, and he is right. Jesus is the saviour to all, there is no exclusion.
A much needed document, but whether proper implementation will be made is yet to be shown
UNDRIP is a disaster.
@@notentirelyapathetic9458how exactly?
@@bigpacthatseazye3462 I take it you’ve never read it.
@@notentirelyapathetic9458 I have, and I believe it is a great document that’ll lead to reconciliation. You have yet to provide reasons as to it being a disaster
@@bigpacthatseazye3462 Reconciliation is the Mongolians getting a job and paying their own way. That includes you.
We Canadians are happy that this work is in partnership with the indigenous peoples. We are not surprised that the paternalistic Roxana ARCHIBAULT mentioned that not all-of them support this important work. Thank goodness there are other MUCH PROGRESSIVE CHIEF THAT UNDERSTAND THAT CENTURIES OF COLONIALISM CANNOT BE ERASED IN 10 years and with continuous work in cooperation with this federal government and the INDIGENOUS PEOPLES HAVE VERY POSITIVE RESULTS AND TODAY ALL CANADIANS WATCHED WITH HIGH EMOTIONS THE FLAG HONOURING AND REMEMBERING THE SURVIVORS OF THE “ ABUSIVE TERROR AND DEATH THAT THE RELIGIOUS“ INSTITUTIONS TREATED THE CHILDREN .
Lot has been accomplished but this work will have to continue for long time. Thank you to the TRUDEAU’S GOVERNMENT AND ALL THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, COMMUNITIES THAT ARE ACHIEVING GREAT PROGRESS SLOWLY BUT SURELY.
