Summary

This video informs and educates unclear and misguided notions between Aboriginal Rights verse Treaty Rights, taking the time to define Aboriginal Rights, by differentiating their credentials. She states that Governments and Courts do not typically include the broader conception, as they miss the responsibilities to land, family, environment, right to self government, and right to control child welfare. She highlights the importance of the Medicine Chest case study, Promises in Treaty, as it must be “kept in the house of each Indian Agent for the use and benefit of the Indians at the direction of such agent.” This demonstrates that Aboriginal peoples have the complete right to control the health care systems on their reserves.
