[SA'KE'J] What we encountered in the constitutional battles in Canada

is that when we wanted to apply human rights to Indigenous people,

the government said,

"You don't have human rights because you're the wrong kind of people."

And that stood as a shock,

but it's part of the discrimination

that we've had to endure.

So we had to go to the [United Nations] General Assembly,

and what we had to do was

get a declaration that basically said that Indigenous people

have the same human rights as any other people.

[JOHN] Canada's current legal landscape

in relationship to Indigenous peoples is complex.

There's one story that is about the

denial of Indigenous place and governance in this land.

When Indigenous peoples first encountered Europeans

there was a nation-to-nation relationship,

a meeting of equals where there was

mutual respect and the pursuit of common goals.

As we went through the nineteenth century,

we found that those goals were eroded

and the nature of the relationship was one of

sovereign-to-subject.

[JOSHUA] And that places Aboriginal peoples in Canada

in a subject-to-sovereign relationship

much in the same that citizens, under the Charter,

in relationship to the federal government as their sovereign.

Yet the theory explaining how this works

in both these cases becomes quite different,

because the history of Indigenous peoples

is not collapsible to the history of citizenship in Canada.

[LARRY] Canada has never yet recognized

an Aboriginal right to self-government,

unlike, for example, in the United States.

And the reason is because the court has interpreted

Aboriginal rights so narrowly —

has to be a custom, tradition or practice —

and that an argument that you have an Aboriginal right

to self-government is seen as too broad

in scope for the court to be prepared to recognize

because they've defined the rights so narrowly.

[JOHN] UNDRIP changes

Canada's relationship with Indigenous peoples

in terms of the duty to consult by saying that

the honour of the Crown, which is part of the legal duty to consult,

must involve the free, prior

and informed consent of Indigenous peoples.

What that means

is that when the Crown

is exercising its powers to develop,

that it has to ensure that honour involves

the free will,

or the participatory actions

of Indigenous peoples in that goal.

[AIMÉE] So UNDRIP is a mechanism for recognizing

self-determination of Indigenous people.

This has been a long-fought effort

to have states acknowledge that Indigenous peoples

have governance, have laws,

have relationships with their lands and territories,

and have never given up

those laws or governance systems

or special relationships with lands, territories and waters.

[SARAH] And I think that's really what the Declaration

is seeking to do.

It's just creating space

for Indigenous people to be able to

live according to their own legal traditions

and make decisions about their lives

in a way that best reflects

their individual needs.

[KERRY] The harder part

is what the federal government, in particular,

should continue to do or should not continue to do,

in light of the fact that the United Nations Declaration guarantees

a right of self-determination

entitling Indigenous communities, properly organized,

to govern themselves

in whatever fashion suits them best.

[JOSHUA] But it is to their advantage, in my mind,

to look to the UN Declaration

as a means of placing renewed emphasis on

that very old struggle

and to try to,

in a certain sense,

leverage the arguments that are built within that document

as a set of norms that move away from

the colonial heritage of the Canadian constitutional order

and how it's built in

and give us means to critique

and point to the problems in our constitutional order

that have become hidden in plain sight.

[SA'KE'J] And that's what's important about the Declaration.

It lays out for states and state governments and other humans:

this is what Indigenous people

want to be respected for.

Halsey Deals With A Toxic Relationship With G-Eazy Lookalike In Heartbreaking 'Without Me' Video - D - Duration: 2:47.

Halsey's new music video, 'Without Me,' is incredibly heartbreaking, & features an actor that looks JUST like her ex, G-Eazy

Watch it here!  The video for Halsey's heartbreaking ballad "Without Me" is here, and it will tug at your heartstrings big time

The new visual was released on Oct. 29, and it features an actor that looks uncannily similar to the singer's ex, G-Eazy

Whether the implication was purposeful or not, Twitter lit up with fan reactions just moments after the video dropped, convinced that Halsey purposely cast the doppelgänger! "The love interest in the without me music video looked so much like G-eazy that at first i thought it was G-eazy," one fan Tweeted

   In the clip, Halsey can be seen picking up the pieces of a toxic relationship

Her music video lover faces anger issues as well as a problematic alcohol problem, and Halsey is left trying to remedy the situation

The singer quite literally has to pick her man up off the ground, and nurse his wounds

The beautifully painful video was almost too much for fans to handle. "b**ch the #withoutme video is obviously about g-eazy WTF the clothing style of the dude, the bars, how the dude was arrested outside the bar at the end (like g-eazy) wow  didn't know she'd go that hard," one fan even wrote

Of course, the video was filmed before their breakup, but could the video be a representation of what the relationship was like?  Halsey and Gerald have once again called it quits, after only recently rekindling their romance in August

Reports of their latest breakup first surfaced on Oct. 23, and rumors were solidified when the pair unfollowed each other on social media, and then wore their Halloween "couples" costume to separate parties

Awkward!  Although "Without Me" features some pretty somber lyrics, a source told HL EXCLUSIVELY that Halsey still has feelings for G

"Halsey still loves G-Eazy," our source told us. "She thinks she will always love him, but she also thinks that their relationship was toxic and that it wasn't healthy for her to be with him

When they were together, she was always wound up and worrying that he was going to cheat on her

She never fully trusted him, and she always felt insecure, and she knows that isn't what a relationship should be like

"
