Recommendation 1:
Acknowledge that the cultural heritage of Indigenous Peoples belongs to and should be managed by Indigenous Peoples. Without exaggeration, 99.9% of archaeological sites in British Columbia, extending back in time more than 10,000 years, are those of Indigenous Peoples.

Recommendation 1:
#ReturnOurAncestors! The Canadian Museum Association and its partner institutions must uphold its responsibilities to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission recommendations, and the promises they made to the AFN, to digitize and make private archives and holdings accessible for transparency. In no uncertain terms, museums must repatriate the bodies of Indigenous ancestors. There needs to be immediate expert and Indigenous-led audits of collections to assess what exists in collections; the primary goal being to find sensitive materials such as bodies, which museologists quietly know to exist within many of Canada’s major institutions.
