No, Most of the europians who conquered land killed/raped and kept people as slaves but the British atleast gave them land and is now paying them and giving them great benefits.
@8QW7HCG4yrs4Y
no they should get the same as everyone else they shouldnt be getting payed for the bad luck of their ancestors.
@8SN27GM4yrs4Y
I think the funding should stay the same
@9GPTJ2D1yr1Y
No, but funds should be allocated towards building federal, provincial, and municipal governance structures and systems that continue to support decolonization and self-governance
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
Yes. We've seen a lot of success with moving towards more options for indigenous governments and removing a lot of the Indian Act away from it. We can continue to do this through UNDRIP, TRC/MMIWG and RCAPs recommendations.
@9VDFPG46mos6MO
some people take advantage of their government funds, so you have to apply, to contribuite to the goverment
@9M6RXV311mos11MO
Yes, I believe the government should work with the many aboriginal nations to give them their land back as well and they should be further compensated for their hardships and more support should be given to them as reparations.
@95DH7PG3yrs3Y
Talk to First Nations across Canada and see where needs could be met, and how different programs and services could be organized for mutual benefit between the government and indigenous communities and allow both to flourish and develop. We have a history of imposing different programs on indigenous groups across Canada without any of their say, and we need to change that to create a collaborative relationship. We cannot let our own personal bias and stereotyped views of indigenous people get in the way of this.
No, instead of monetary give other services as well as their land back
@8VGM3S44yrs4Y
They should be integrated into our society as citizens and given more funding so that first nations communities can setup a proper infrastructure. The government should also give them their land back.
Yes, they should, but they should also have more say in how those funds get used, as there has been a long history of government imposing things on them through the Indian Act, like the band system and other horrible atrocities, such as the Residential School System and banning of cultural practices like the potlach ceremony. There needs to be a more collaborative relationship with all three levels of government so that they can find mutual ways to support one another, and benefit each other as well as our country, and that does require funds, but also giving indigenous people a voice/more democratic participation.
