Canada confirms it changed land claim process, mulls Indian Act changes

Did you read the article at all?

The change is one in favor of First Nations bands, changing the wording to diverge away from the colonialist approach/wording of the old Indian Act that many bands have been objecting to.

The federal government says in the documents this approach is "consistent with reconciliation objectives'' and supports nation-to-nation relationship building.

"It is forward-looking in that it does not seek to correct the historical error through further reliance on a colonial measure that First Nations object to and enables the parties to clearly articulate agreement on the rights and obligations of the parties in relation to the claim lands,'' the document reads.
