Study Notes
Indigenous Representation in Canada
- Indigenous populations have lower participation rates in Canadian federal, provincial, and territorial elections compared to non-Indigenous populations.
- This underrepresentation extends to appointed offices.
- National Indigenous Organizations (NIOs) are used by Canadian governments to engage with Indigenous peoples.
- The NIO model is considered inadequate by some, as it falls short of a nation-to-nation approach that emphasizes Indigenous self-governance as a more appropriate model.
