B.C. Indigenous rights law aims to make First Nations full participants

The legislation is expected to be introduced on Thursday and is bound to raise questions about the potential impact on the way the province is governed, but Indigenous leaders, academics and members of B.C.'s New Democrat government say it will ensure Indigenous Peoples are full participants in all aspects of the province.

The declaration was adopted by the General Assembly of the UN in 2007 after 20 years of debate, although Canada was originally one of four countries that voted against it. Among other things, the declaration says Indigenous Peoples have the right to self-determination, which means they can determine their political status and pursue economic, social and cultural development.

He said the legislation will not effectively give Indigenous Peoples the power to stop resource development projects on their traditional lands. Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit, one of B.C.'s largest Indigenous organizations, said the legislation will redefine, reset and restructure historical relations between B.C. and Aboriginal Peoples.John also rejected concerns that the legislation would grant Indigenous Peoples a veto on resource development.

Natives held the Spirit of the Creator, in high esteem; until 'false' religion beat it out of them!!!
