Recommendation 14:
Although the experience of racism in the use of status cards is near-universal amongst status First Nations, and the mention of status cards elicits overt and numerous racist responses in online forums, there is very little data collected, studies published, or indicators monitored about this experience. Increasingly, there is broad policy support for the collection and monitoring of race-based data to support equity and dignity for all persons. Future work pursuant to this study should continue, and specifically:
- Be a matter of focus of human rights offices and associated studies.
- Indicators and data collection about experience in the use of status cards, and outcomes data related to the experience of racism, should be embedded in surveying and performance monitoring at local, regional, provincial, and national levels, including by First Nations governments in their primary data collection and research projects. These should consider the unique experiences of LGBTQ2S+ persons as well as other groups that are experiencing intersecting and compounding forms of oppression and discrimination.
- Be tied to clear action plans and accountability for change.
- Be rooted in Indigenous data sovereignty.
