I'm going to quote Willie Littlechild, because I think he said it very beautifully. The treaties and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples are not problems; they are solutions. They have to stop being seen as problems. We have to start seeing them as fundamental mechanisms that are already in place, have been broadly recognized; as being a path for us to follow to ensure that we don't repeat the same mistakes of the past.
That's why we have human rights. That's why the United Nations declaration is part of an overall, broad human rights framework. We have to protect us from us. Humans are extraordinarily valuable. We need these aspirational and tangible steps to help protect us against that.
