Before 2017, when the federal government's negotiation process didn't work for some groups, the task of interpreting and enforcing Aboriginal rights often fell to Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada. In August 2017, these organizations were dissolved and two new departments were created: Indigenous Services Canada and Crown-indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada.
Indigenous Services Canada. They look for empowering indigenous people so they can work independently.
Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada. They look for modernizing the governmental structure of Canada so that the indigenous people been supported in their vision of auto-determination.
