Indigenous relations and policy in Quebec

Overview

In Quebec, initiatives and political proposals are emerging to improve relations with Indigenous communities. Universities UQTR, UQAC, and UQAT, in collaboration with First Nations partners and Boîte Rouge VIF, have launched a web platform designed to integrate Indigenous knowledge and perspectives into postsecondary education and professional training.

Simultaneously, during the Quebec election campaign, political parties have introduced various policies regarding Indigenous relations. The Parti québécois proposed implementing Indigenous language and culture courses in schools and creating a ‘Maison des savoirs’, a university-level institution run by and for Indigenous peoples. The Conservative Party of Quebec pledged to increase autonomy for Indigenous nations, specifically in youth protection and regional decision-making, while Québec solidaire advocated for making September 30 a public holiday.
