Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act

This information has been provided by the BC provincial government outlining it’s responsibilities to Indigenous Peoples under the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act.

The BC provincial government passed the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (Declaration Act) into law in November 2019. The Declaration Act establishes the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN Declaration) as the Province’s framework for reconciliation, as called for by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. The Declaration Act aims to create a path forward that respects the human rights of Indigenous Peoples while introducing better transparency and predictability in the work we do together.
