I'll take the first portion around how serious it is.
For me, the longer the conversation only happens around distinctions-based approaches, the less Inuit I feel. I don't know how to explain it in any more serious a way than that. I sometimes feel the erosion of my identity in many conversations, when budgets are presented or when programs are designed and we're not included in that conversation. We've done some work to look at....
UNDRIP doesn't say that this is how your self-determination happens as an indigenous person. It doesn't say that these are the structures through which this should happen. They're individualized rights. I should be thought of and looked to or asked for advice regardless of where I live. I think we, and I as an individual, sometimes look at resource distribution and think there is no way that 61% of resources for indigenous Canadians are going to urban people or urban organizations.
We are very practical in our thought process. Indigenous people, regardless of where they live, are not a brand new mentality or reality. Urban migration is the reason we exist and why we're 60, 70 years old as an organization, and our relationship with Canada is extremely long.
