[1] The Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples has a history of hearing from the Indigenous youth of Canada.
The Committee seeks youth feedback on issues plaguing Indigenous communities across Canada, including broken treaties, housing shortages, and economic marginalization.
From identifying challenges to sharing success stories, the Committee seeks to provide Indigenous youth a platform where their voices can be heard.
Over the course of their day on Parliament Hill, youth leaders met with Senate leaders and testified before the Senate Committee on Aboriginal Peoples, this time lending their voices to the committee's study on a new relationship between Canada and Indigenous peoples.
The group was also given a tour of Parliament Hill and met one-on-one with several senators to discuss issues like education in their communities and protecting Indigenous culture.
