United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

From the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba 

"In its Principles for Reconciliation (PDF), the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada called the UN Declaration 'the framework for reconciliation at all levels and across all sectors of Canadian society.'...The Declaration is wide-ranging, addressing rights to culture, language, education, justice and lands, among others, as well as protection from discrimination and forced assimilation. A key thread through the entire Declaration is the right to self-determination – the right of Indigenous peoples to make decisions for themselves, free from the imposition of programs and policies that would threaten their cultures and identities."
