Specifically, I am talking about the Canadian First Nations, but First Nations are/have been all over the world like the Americas (US, Mexico), Australia, Africa, Asia, Europe, and South America.

The government's position

In recent years, the government has shown its support and the issue has certainly has had more awareness.

August 2017: Prime Minster created 2 new groups, Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) and Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC), to help out the indigenous in order to build a better relationship. The PM and the governments aim with these groups was to improve health outcomes

First Nations' disappearances

Many indigenous people blame the federal government for a far too slow progress in finding missing/murdered young adults, specifically girls. In a 2014 report, it was found that there were 1,181 incidents of female homicides and unresolved missing Indigenous females. Families say their children aren't given as much importance to other missing children simply because they are indigenous. In 2010, an increase occurred in both missing and murdered young adults. The indigenous community not only wants political rights, but socially.
