UNDA and its associated Bill C-15 was passed on June 21\,2021 calling for National implementation.  In December 2023\, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) established a Chiefs Committee on UNDA to begin working with the Federal Government to create a workplan and many regions have begun having discussions with their Provincial Governments to adopt UNDRIP. A major component of this project is to hold community engagement sessions to educate community members on UNDRIP and UNDA. \nArticle 38 notes “Consultation and cooperation with Indigenous peoples\, shall take the appropriate measures\, including legislative measures\, to achieve the ends of this Declaration” \n
