Parliament has undertaken a study to examine land restitution to Indigenous peoples, and so far MPs have been incurious
that Parliament should have to delegate decision-making authority to Indigenous groups before they can make official rules for themselves .
Further to this, he told committee that all land is owned by Indigenous groups, and that it’s Canada whose land claims rest on Indigenous land. “That’s who has the land claim — the provincial and federal governments,” he said.Article content “If the federal government and provincial governments want to chip in together to buy back land that should never have been out of our hands, that is a reconciliation action they could do,” Gabriel said.
At the end of the day, when Parliament considers how it can better resolve land claims, it should examine where it should draw its own limits. For now, it doesn’t seem to be interested in this, and that’s a concern. These claims are a function of the Crown’s relationship to Indigenous peoples; the interests of both Canadians as a whole and Indigenous groups need to be considered. MPs on this committee should ask pointed questions when it comes to the matter of land restitution.
