The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is a comprehensive statement addressing the human rights of indigenous peoples. The Government of Canada has legislated the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act and Action Plan.   

Biosphere regions in Canada are committed to working with Indigenous communities and place great importance to local actions aimed at reconciliation between Indigenous and non- Indigenous peoples. Each biosphere region is at a different point in their reconciliation journey, but each are committed to working to build relationships, supporting Indigenous priorities, and translating that commitment into actions and stories.
