Awareness of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) remains limited. Only about one-third of residents (35 per cent) say they had heard of UNDRIP before this survey โ€” a figure that climbs to 62 per cent among Indigenous respondents. Despite the major knowledge gap, most British Columbians are supportive of the UNDRIP Act. A combined 73 per cent call the measure a positive development for Canada.

This is so disappointing, more people need to read UNDRIP.
