Implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UN Declaration) is about recognizing and respecting the human rights of Indigenous peoples.
Implementing the UN Declaration is essential to creating a fair, inclusive and equitable society. Together with First Nations, Inuit and Métis, we are charting a new way forward in building renewed nation-to-nation, Inuit-Crown, and government-to-government relationships based on the affirmation of rights, respect, co-operation and partnership.
The Government of Canada is consulting and cooperating with First Nations, Inuit and Métis to make the objectives of the UN Declaration a reality.
Here’s how we are implementing the UN Declaration:

The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act became law on June 21, 2021.
Action Plan
The roadmap to implement the UN Declaration, released June 2023.

Have you heard of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples?
This is a document that sets global standards to uphold the human rights of Indigenous peoples, also known as a human rights instrument.
For decades, Indigenous leaders from Canada and around the world had advocated for and helped draft a declaration to promote and protect the rights of Indigenous peoples.
In 2007, the United Nations adopted the Declaration.
This Declaration sets out a broad range of human rights.
For example, it affirms such rights as:
- the right of all Indigenous peoples to self-determination and self-government, to decide what is best for their communities, and to participate in decisions that affect them
- the right to have their treaties and agreements honoured and respected
- the right to use and teach their languages and histories and to practise their cultural traditions and customs
- the right to access social and health services without discrimination and to improve their economic and social well-being
- the right to be free from any kind of discrimination and to live in peace and security as distinct peoples
In Canada, the Declaration is a roadmap for the shared journey of reconciliation – one that respects the human rights of Indigenous peoples.

Indigenous youth on what
UN Declaration means to them

Our Rights – Indigenous Youth on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Developed by First Nations, Inuit and Métis youth from across Canada who participated in the language of their choice, this video promotes their perspectives on the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Text
What is the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples?
Genevieve Benoit
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, or the Declaration, is an international human rights instrument that was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in September of 2007.
Ryder Cote
In order to move forward, you need to know where you stand on North American Indian land, known as Turtle Island, or known as the North American continent.
Kyra De La Ronde
Is the first step Canada can take in truly recognizing who I am as a Métis woman.
Crystal Martin-Lapenskie
UNDRIP affirms the rights of Indigenous peoples to create and manage their own affairs, whether this is in the education system, healthcare, or justice. This also includes to preserve, promote and protect Indigenous lands, waters, traditions, cultures and languages.
Ryder Cote
It is an instrument used to protect the ancestral inherent birth rights of Indigenous people around the world.
Sabrina Muise
It's a tool that we can use to fight for everything that matters and everything we keep praying for.
Text
Why is it important to me?
Alyssa Thomas
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples will empower the future generations of all Indigenous peoples in Canada.
Nadia Mundell
As a young Métis woman and mother, UNDRIP means that I have the right to be proud of my culture and the responsibility of teaching my son what it means to be Métis for future generations to carry on.
Elise Brass
The Declaration is important to me because I want future Indigenous youth to feel pride where they come from and celebrated in all their culture. My vision for Canada in the next seven generations is a world where Indigenous people can walk down the street and not be discriminated against or racially profiled.
Crystal Martin-Lapenskie
UNDRIP means a safe and inclusive environment for our children today and tomorrow.
Kyra De La Ronde
For over 150 years, the government of Canada has denied my rights and existence as an Indigenous person.
Sabrina Muise
I see UNDRIP as a tool that we can use to help empower our people, a tool for us to fight for our rights, and a tool to aid in the struggle to get land back, water back, community back, traditional governments back, language back, culture back.
Justen Peters
From returning our ownership to the land, we can rebuild with modern tools and ancient knowledge, and build a better world for our youth, our languages, our cultures and our people.
Ryder Cote
[Anishinaabemowin] In order to move forward, you need to know where you stand on North American Indian land, known as Turtle Island, or known as the North American continent.
Polsia Carrozza
For me as a Métis woman, UNDRIP and its implementation in Canada will act as an added layer of protection for my community, which has been historically forgotten. My message for Métis youth is that we have a responsibility to use UNDRIP and educate others about it so we can ensure that our rights to self-determination are made real.
Sabrina Muise
Our people have fought for and achieved so many beautiful things without this tool. I can’t wait to see what we can do with it. [Mi’kmaw] Msit No’kmaq. All my relations.
