Yes, I do. Each time we're challenged with a new scenario or a new situation that puts our policy into question, I'm amazed by the words of our knowledge keepers and our elders and the support they provided in creating this policy.
Ultimately, our principle is that it is the indigenous peoples' decision and their right to determine who their members are, and that becomes the core value for this policy. I think that can absolutely be the core value of any government or of any other institution creating a policy that centres around indigenous voices.
Too often, the entirety of colonization has been about putting indigenous voices to the side, not allowing and not imagining that indigenous people can make their own decisions and are intelligent enough to do this work. We see that as racist, obviously, but also inappropriate and unprofessional in every way. Indigenous people have been doing this work forever, so they need to be at the centre of that conversation.
