Our work
CAP actively undertakes legal research, interventions, and political action to demand that the CAP-Daniels Decision be upheld and the rights of our constituents are protected and respected regardless of their residence or Indian Act status.
In December 2018, a renewed Political Accord between CAP and the Government of Canada was signed, building a foundation to work in cooperation on jointly agreed objectives, policy priorities, and a process for implementation with resources and funding.
