August 9 is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
The Salvation Army supports the protection, respect and promotion of the rights of Indigenous Peoples.
Last June, Canada passed Bill C15 to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
(UNDRIP), providing a framework for lasting reconciliation based on mutual respect.
The Salvation Army recognizes and reaffirms the principles, norms and standards of UNDRIP and respects Indigenous
Peoples’ right to self govern in spiritual matters, traditions and practices
