Recommendation 4: Develop a framework, action plan and timeline to fully implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and Bill C-41/Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA). UNDRIP recognizes the right of Indigenous Peoples to “maintain, control, protect and develop their cultural heritage.” The Province of B.C. has committed to implementing UNDRIP and DRIPA/Bill 41, and investment in this plan will align with that commitment by providing opportunities for Indigenous-led management of Indigenous cultural heritage. This framework and action plan must establish jurisdiction and statutory decision-making authority over Indigenous cultural heritage by Indigenous Peoples. For this to be successful, it will require decentralizing power and developing or activating mechanisms for extending authority within existing legislation to Indigenous Peoples. British Columbia’s current Bill C-41 / Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) provides a mechanism for developing such legal mechanisms, processes, and relationships.
