My research of UNDRIP talks about how this was developed over 30 years by thousands of indigenous people across this globe. When you created the UNDRIP handbook, you began doing sessions all across Canada. We coordinated one together in Halifax.

Can you speak to what the consensus is that you have heard from indigenous academics and indigenous peoples on UNDRIP? What were their thoughts at these sessions you held?
