In Canada, Aboriginal rights are protected under section 35 of the Constitution. Aboriginal people may also have treaty rights protected under section 35 of the Constitution. The extent of treaty rights depends on the terms of the treaty. They may apply within the entire traditional territory of your Aboriginal community or only within a certain area described in the treaty. Aboriginal rights are practices, traditions, and customs that are unique to each Aboriginal community. Aboriginal rights are based on traditional activities that: • were practised before contact with Europeans (for First Nations and Inuit) or were practised before Europeans took control over the area (for Métis); • are important to the distinct culture of each Aboriginal community; and • have continued to present day (although they can be in modern form — for example, you can hunt with a gun instead of a bow and arrow). Generally, Aboriginal rights only apply within the traditional territory of your Aboriginal community. This means the area where your Aboriginal ancestors lived. Aboriginal rights are held by:
First Nations, including status and non-status Indians,
Inuit, and
Métis.

In June 2020, claims surfaced about a “Price is Right” game allegedly being played in some B.C. hospital Emergency Departments, in which health care workers were guessing blood alcohol levels of Indigenous patients. The Minister of Health commissioned an independent Review to investigate the “Price is Right” allegations and whether this game or other forms of Indigenous-specific racism are being experienced by Indigenous people using the provincial health care system, make findings of fact, and “to make any recommendations it considers necessary and advisable.”

Family physicians know that supporting a patient’s health requires trust, compassion, and mutual respect. For Indigenous patients and their families, this is not always achieved. Systemic racism has been identified as a major barrier to positive relationships between physicians and Indigenous patients and the best care of Indigenous peoples. This brief guide for physicians helps you understand better the role that systemic racism can play in shaping an Indigenous patient’s clinical experience, and what you can do about it. As Indigenous patients, Indigenous physicians, and allies, we are appealing to you to help us address this pervasive and harmful problem.
