Assembly of First Nations Native American people have been working extremely hard to up old and protect their unique rights. Policy areas allow the protection of their rights. If I could assign 3 policies to improve and concentrate on them would be the Health, Education and Land Rights and Claims policies.
Firstly, I would concentrate on the health of the First Nations peoples. First Nation people suffer a much higher risk of morbidity across many diseases. They also have a higher mortality rate compared to the rest of Canadians. If I could improve the health policies for the First Nations peoples, I would make sure our approaches reflected and respected the autonomy, values, and practices of the First Nation people. I would secondly assist the FNIHB (First Nations and Inuit Health Branch) with the development of health tools and policies that relate to the First Nations people. Health is a very important issue that First Nations peoples have deal with. I believe that proper health care is a necessity, it is for that reason that I would deal with health firstly if I were the new National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations. (1)
Secondly, I would concentrate on the education system of the First Nations people. Equal education privileges for First Native people have been one of the biggest, most dates issues. Presently, First Nation people do have several benefits such as free undergraduate studies in Canada, etc. I still believe education is something that needs to be enhanced. As the National President of the Assembly of First Nations I would make sure there was a funding for lifetime learning of our First Nations peoples. I would make sure the languages of First Nations peoples would be recognized, and I would finally improve the issues of the regional issues. Education is a necessity in our society and I believe First Nations should have the opportunity to learn and be educated just like any
