I think strong cultural investment is a good way to start and beneficial to canadians as a whole. I went on vacation to Haida Gwaii recently and really appreciated the Haida Heritage Center[1] but those places are few and far between - the funding for it actually originated in a standoff with the government[2] that was then invested and nurtured to accrue the value it has today. They host seminars and classes around culture and history while employing a number of reservation residents - I think it'd be wonderful if the federal government put a more serious investment into cultural preservation as a way to spur economic health.

There are other actions being called for by the tribes themselves but I hope that cultural investment ends up being part of the end solution.

Implementing the recommendations from the Truth & Reconciliation will be a start. It will be a long process of mending and healing that will take time, patience, and deliberate effort.

There's obviously no amount of money that covers it, and so ideally there are actual cultural reinvigoration goals as well perhaps as Indigenous population growth goals - and supporting the costs of social determinants until those communities are thriving and growing at a level above average or some multiple compared to Canada as a whole.
