This Fight Continues: 262 & the Declaration

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has called Canada to adopt and implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Though some politicians refuse to honour the minimum rights standards of the Declaration—afraid of the potential impact they might have on the resource extraction economy—Indigenous nations, organizations, and allies continue to mobilize to have the Declaration respected and implemented in Canadian law. The well-being, dignity and survival of Indigenous peoples and lands depend on it. The healing and decolonization of Canada too.
