Anandasangaree touts government’s progress on Indigenous claims, worries of lost momentum if Tories win
“ are people who have lived experience of retraumatization by the previous government. Reconciliation requires intergenerational efforts, and it should go ahead, notwithstanding which party is in power.
While much of the political world was transfixed by a byelection in Toronto, Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Gary Anandasangaree spent most of the past week making a series of announcements in B.C. Indigenous communities, including joining with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Tŝilhqot’in Decision, which resulted in the first-ever recognition of Aboriginal title in Canadian history.
Anandasangaree also committed to renewing the federal-provincial agreement with the Tŝilhqot’in Nation, as well as taking part in signing ceremonies for draft treaties with the Kitsumkalum and Kitselas First Nations. The announcements come as Anandasangaree closes in on his one-year anniversary in the job as the government’s key pointperson for its relationship with Indigenous Peoples, which the prime minister has often called the most important relationship to him and Canada.
