The UNDRIP was made by the General Assembly in 2007, by a majority of 144 states in favour, 4 votes against it. The UN DRIP talks and tells others about serious issues that Indigenous people face, like social, economic, and cultural needs. Listing some of the benefits of the UNDRIP is that it supports the survival and well-being of the Indigenous peoples, establishes their human rights, and teaches young learners that we may not treat others unkindly, even if they look a little different. Article 15 gives Indigenous peoples the right to the dignity and diversity of their cultures and traditions so that they can follow their religions, ways of life and the history of their people. Article 15 also gives Indigenous peoples the right to equality and the right to eliminate discrimination and promote understanding and strong bonds among Indigenous peoples and other cultures. In conclusion, the UNDRIP is important in numerous ways for helping Indigenous people gain their rights.
UN DRIP stands for United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. The Declaration was created on September 13, 2007, and was adopted by Canada in December 2020 which includes 46 articles. It focuses on Indigenous peoples as individuals and as a group to protect their connection with their ancestral territories, cultures and identities. Along with the UNDRIP article to protect Indigenous rights, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada includes 94 "calls to action" (or recommendations) to further reconciliation between Canadians and Indigenous peoples. We need to learn, better understand and work towards honouring existing treaties.
UN DRIP Article 14: Indigenous peoples have the right to establish and control their educational systems and institutions providing education in their own languages, in a manner appropriate to their cultural methods of teaching and learning.
UN DRIP Article 15 Indigenous peoples have the right to the dignity and diversity of their cultures, traditions, histories and aspirations which shall be appropriately reflected in education and public information.
