Some solutions that have been suggested in the past are summarized in the article "Canada’s First Nations: A Legacy of Institutional Racism" by Clair Hutchings. She suggests :
- That Canada recognize their title to traditional lands and resources.
- Canada should recognize First Nations and their inherent right to self-government.
- First Nations need greater control over their communities. An example would be the creation in 1999 of Canada’s third territory, Nunavut.
- Support of the First Nations Policing Policy and the Aboriginal Justice Initiative.
- Other forms of policing have emerged including the Mi’kmaq Warrior Society and the Native Youth Movement.
- The Government should fund Native education and First Nations’ language programs, particularly in elementary schools.
This is a picture of first nations and Vancouver RCMP working together, to stop racism. |
