The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples was established by the Canadian government in response to crises like the Oka Crisis and Meech Lake Accord in order to address issues facing indigenous peoples. Over five years, the commission interviewed tribes to understand their concerns but failed to resist the imposition of liberalism. While the government created plans to reduce economic and quality of life gaps between indigenous and non-indigenous Canadians through education, jobs, housing, and services, these goals were not accomplished. As a result, statistics still show non-indigenous Canadians have a better quality of life, raising questions about whether more action is needed.
