Question 15 of 33
True or False? Aboriginal hunting and fishing rights discriminate against “whites”, i.e. non-Aboriginals.
Interest groups often attempt to pass off Aboriginal peoples’ distinct hunting and fishing rights as a form of preferential treatment or even discrimination against non-Aboriginal citizens However, the existence of distinct rights is not incompatible with the affirmation of the right to equality enshrined in our charters of rights and freedoms. The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted in 2007, also recognizes the rights of Indigenous peoples.
