“People sort of think that Canada is this bastion of human rights and we have such a wonderful international reputation but there are human rights violations going on in Indigenous communities going on every day” professor and lawyer Naiomi Metallic told the commissioners.
Over 30 Indigenous lobby groups and government bodies are in Quebec City to listen and ask questions of experts and knowledge keepers who will testify.
Yes, why are we not talking about Aboriginal human rights violations taking place every day right across Canada?

Trudeau boasts about human rights but does not say what his government is still to us today. Assimilation and genocide. This must stop. Our Creator is watching all of this.

Yes, there are human rights violations on-reserve. I experienced it, and when I tried to report it, I had a difficult time with the Human Rights help line, and the Provincial Human Services. I never felt so helpless in my life, no one would assist me. I never had the opportunity to see or talk to anyone, because my health was quite bad.
