Canada has been cited repeatedly by the UN Commission on Human Rights for its horrible treatment of its indigenous peoples.
Canada refuses to allow any natives to determine who is, and who is not a native. They refuse to allow any Tribe or Band to determine who is and who is not, a mamber of a Tribe or Band. Those determinations are strictly up to the Federal Government.
Canada, for many years, stripped any Native woman of her status, the moment she married a Non-native. Finaly, years after being cited for doing that, they agreed to no longer strip her of her Native Identity. BUT, they STILL require any woman that was stripped, to petition to get her Native Status back, and her children also have to petition to even be recognized as native at all.
The Métia people continue to be ignored by the government, which adamantly refuses to recognize that they have ANY rights. This many years AFTER the Supreme Court determined that the Métis never lost their rights, as guaranteed by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The government will not even decide which, if any, Métis organizations they will negotiate with.
Canada deserves to be put on a black list, as one of the WORST abusers of its native peoples in the world.
