Call to Action # 43: United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People (43-44)

Long-term reconciliation agreement with 7 Secwepemc communities and the Province

March 15, 2019

Seven Secwepemc communities and the Province (Ministers of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation; Environment and Climate Change Strategy; Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development; and Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources) have committed to collaborating on a long-term reconciliation agreement focused on implementing inherent rights, improving community well-being and advancing government-to-government relationships. They will align their work with the principles of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The agreement sets the foundation for a government-to-government (G2G) relationship that can grow and evolve over time and support self-determination and economic prosperity – now and for future generations.
