B.C. First Nations chief warns ripping up DRIPA is a ‘declaration of war’

The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs has issued a strong warning in British Columbia against dismantling the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA).

Describing the potential termination of the agreement as a "declaration of war," the leadership is urging officials to maintain the legislation and use it as a foundational framework for ongoing reconciliation efforts.
