Vancouver to become the first Canadian municipality to put the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as city council expected to vote on report detailing calls to action from three First Nations
Vancouver is set to become the first Canadian city to put the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples into action – a shift that could see three First Nations receive property and other tax revenue, have parcels of municipal land given back and their members appointed to decision-making positions such as the local police board.
“The task force was, in some ways, an experiment of how we would do this work,” Khelsilem said. “When it comes to shared decision-making, the city is already doing that in many ways – this is just now embedding it within the processes overall. … It actually builds it as a standard practice.” Ms. Boyle said she was most excited about the calls to better educate people about the current presence of the three First Nations on their unceded territory through a sustained campaign that could incorporate public art, as well as training and hiring Indigenous people to teach locals and tourists alike about their culture.
“Just realizing the generational wealth that was created while we were oppressed, what do those steps look [like going] forward?” Mr. Thomas said. Another call to action asks the city to work with the police to address systemic and structural racism.
