This series unpacks the history, legal framework, and modern impact of treaties in Canada. From the first agreements between Indigenous nations and the Crown to today’s debates over land rights, governance, and public consultation, we’ll break down how treaties shape policies at the municipal, provincial, and federal levels. We’ll also explore UNDRIP (United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) and the growing concerns about who gets a say in decision-making—ensuring that all citizens, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, understand their rights in local governance. 🔹 What are treaties, and why do they matter today? 🔹 How do treaties impact municipal and provincial decision-making? 🔹 Does UNDRIP change who gets consulted on land and governance issues? 🔹 Are non-Indigenous constituents being left out of the conversation? Join us as we cut through the confusion, explain the key terms, and explore the future of public consultation and governance in Canada.
