Fun fact: The BC NDP& #39;s first annual report on their progress in implementing UNDRIP since adopting it last year conflated individualized human rights with collective Indigenous rights, & reported no legal changes, claiming their central accomplishment was simply adopting UNDRIP.
Keep in mind that UNDRIP itself is not a law, provinces are colonies of Canada, and most treaties were signed with nations other than Canada. BC is a rogue province that illegally stopped making treaties early in its existence. See 1875 fed reprimand here:

The reason I mention treaties here is not only because they make BC an illegal province but also because Canada has a history & present (see Mi& #39;kmaq fisheries) of ignoring international legal agreements between Native nations & European or euro-descended nations.
