Today, we honour the strength and wisdom of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island.
For millennia, Indigenous nations have cared for these lands and carried wisdom and knowledge that continues to guide us all today. Indigenous stories and traditions remind us of the importance of resilience, responsibility, and caring for each other and the world around us.
New Democrats will always stand alongside Indigenous Peoples in the fight to protect land, waters and Indigenous self-determination in the spirit of truth and reconciliation.
We call on all levels of government to immediately uphold the Treaties, fully implement the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, and act on the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Calls for Justice.
Indigenous rights are not optional. They are law.
