Canada lacks clear funding, plan to commemorate treaties: document
Officials underlined that commemorating the signing of these treaties would be “visible markers of reconciliation.”
“Treaty First Nations have continually called on the federal government to better recognize and commemorate treaties,” it read. “Existing funding levels are not adequate to handle the potential number of treaty commemoration proposals as there are over 150 treaty First Nations and Indigenous organizations who could potentially be seeking to access these programs.”Officials added that, based on their meetings, they found “no federal department currently has a plan for treaty commemorations or funding for upcoming treaty anniversaries,” with only limited support being available.
