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.
