Meaningful Consultation of First Nation, Inuit and Métis Peoples in Canada - What is it?

Canadian courts have established that Meaningful Consultation is an Indigenous right in Canada guaranteed by Section 35 of the Constitution Act (1982). The goal of that Crown-defined Meaningful Consultation is the reconciliation of the pre-existence of Indigenous societies, Indigenous rights, with the sovereignty of the Crown.
