Description
Section 4 of the Declaration Act requires development and implementation of an action plan, in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous Peoples, to achieve the objectives of the UN Declaration. This action plan outlines significant actions the Province will undertake in consultation and cooperation with Indigenous Peoples over a five-year period. The Province will continue to demonstrate commitment and ensure accountability to implement the UN Declaration and the Declaration Act Action Plan through collaborative annual reporting.
Through the Declaration Act the Province has adopted a distinctions-based approach to advancing reconciliation and implementing the United Nations Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples. A distinction-based approach means that the Province’s work with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people will be conducted in a manner that acknowledges the specific rights, interests, priorities, and concerns of each, while respecting and acknowledging these distinct Peoples with unique cultures, histories, rights, laws, and governments.
The 2022 government-to-government Shared Priorities Framework between each of the eight modern treaty nations and the Province commits to concrete actions to ensure timely, effective and fully resourced implementation of modern treaties.
Métis Nation British Columbia (MNBC) and the Province have renewed a shared commitment to strengthen their relationship and advance reconciliation with Métis people in B.C.
