In 2010, Canada joined other countries that had adopted an international declaration agreeing to respect the rights of Aboriginal people.
What rights?
- Not to be the victims of discrimination
- To make decisions about economic, social and cultural development
- To see their culture respected
- To live on their land
- To keep their traditions alive
- And many more!
Why? Because “all peoples contribute to the diversity and richness of civilizations and cultures, which constitute the common heritage of humanity.”
