On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Canadian Museums Association as part of a coalition of national and provincial heritage organizations urges the Government of Canada to take immediate, decisive action to establish an Indigenous-led National Framework for Indigenous Cultural Heritage Rights. We do this to support the return of Indigenous ancestors and belongings through repatriation and to protect the rights of Indigenous peoples to their own cultural heritage. We urge the Government of Canada to: • Fulfill Canada’s commitments enshrined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (UNDRIP). • Take urgent action. Despite Canada's commitment to UNDRIP, Action Plan Measure 98, which commits to co-developing a comprehensive approach for the repatriation of Indigenous Ancestors and Cultural Belongings, has not yet been started. • Address the full spectrum of Indigenous cultural heritage rights through an Indigenous-led National Framework for Indigenous Cultural Heritage Rights. • Release the funds requested in our pre-budget submissions to the Department of Finance, and the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance for initial research on repatriation scope and costs. It's time for meaningful progress on Canada's UNDRIP obligations. Read the full joint statement: https://ow.ly/fFJJ50TxwcG

This morning, a beautiful day in the city of gold, I’m thinking about the future of our continent as I often do. And I believe it’s about a common vision and purpose for our continent. Collaboration is wise, it speaks of wisdom, maturity and understanding. The intelligence and insights of the continent should co-create for a better future, African solutions by Africa. Those who understand what is needed. Local voices. Communities. Relevant solutions. More love and less greed, greed is not indigenous, it was introduced from elsewhere. Decisions made with all in mind, not an individual, but communities. Taking care of others, sharing, the values of the continent. Educate using the history, lessons and approach of the continent. And being knowledgeable about what is happening elsewhere. Learning from each other. Critical thinking, creativity and pactical skills. Innovating for a better tomorrow. Businesses that thrive while addressing societal needs. And so Africa can harness its potential and pave the way for a prosperous future, honouring the heritage and embracing innovation.
