@madmelliemel1: I am not convinced that repealing the Indian Act is an act of reconciliation. Much work must be done to understand how this will impact rights Treaties and rights. #indianact #indigenousrights
Did we not learn anything from the first time around? Canada made agreements that they have never lived up to and now we are supposed to just magically believe they have good intentions. Not likely!!

It’s so interesting this is brought up now when Canada and Ontario is in a huge lawsuit trial with six nations of Ontario

They want this because they know the Indigenous are getting stronger and more educated and that threatens them

But that's what they said was to modernize it for todays world vs 19whatever year it was ....
We need our now strongly educated people to be at the table .... both ON RESERVE AND OFF RESERVE first nations people ..... because lots of OFF RESERVE first nations people are only recognized by the federal government....while our chief and council don't even know we exist

Antiquated Joys :
May I ask -aren’t Treaty rights affirmed in section 35 of the Constitution Act? Been trying to understand the impacts to Treaty. With Sec35 Constitution Act, thought that meant that,no federal or provincial gov can extinguish the Treaty rights? Does it not supersede the older act? Can we make a declaration that it does? So much at stake there should be firm confirmation of inalienable rights before anything is done. 🧡 it’s so hard, not to suspect the worst in everything these days.

The land questions need answering first. First thing increase every Indian reserve 100x immediately. Every city in town has gotten bigger exponentially for the last hundred years.

I’ve heard so many different opinions on this and I always appreciate your take on important issues. Living in Manitoba, there seems to be one camp that is solidly behind Wab and another camp that thinks he is being a sellout.

I was waiting for your opinion on this. I hope they take great care to protect treaty rights, and this is well intended. But I also know our government doesn’t have a good track record of keeping their word either. I hope the right discussions are had by all.

Carney’s extreme willingness to get into this immediately gets my guard up about unintended consequences

I too, am concerned. Abolishing the act would again as you said, require assimilation which forgets about your rights as treaty indigenous. I’m not saying the conversation isn’t important. I’m only saying that you need to be careful.

Definitely a slippery slope. And one not to be left in the hands of non indigenous

always great to hear your opinion. I agree, a very slippery slope. there are to many politicians waiting to grape mother earth. amendments definitely need to be made, especially the name

What about Indigenous peoples from across the country working together to present and work with the federal government to find a mutually beneficial and sustainable solution as part of the repair process. Yes many years of work to get it right but could it be a great equalization for representation? To be clear I want what ever the First Nations feel would be best for them.

Isn’t the Nisga’a final agreement a blueprint for this? It’s been in effect since May 2000. They negotiated out of the Indian Act.
