Your Voice Matters!
We want to hear what you know about the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Your answers will help us learn more and start more conversations about UNDRIP in the Urban Indigenous community on Southern Vancouver Island.
Why This Survey Is Important:
Canada and British Columbia have both agreed to follow UNDRIP. The Victoria Native Friendship Centre (VNFC) wants to make sure Urban Indigenous people are part of the conversation.
Right now, we want to know more about what the community knows about UNDRIP, if people are interested in learning more, and who wants to join future talks about how UNDRIP should be used to support Indigenous rights.
This survey helps us learn all of that — and your answers matter!
Who Are We?
The Victoria Native Friendship Centre (VNFC) is a non-profit organization led by Indigenous people. It is part of a bigger group of Friendship Centres across Canada that support Indigenous communities.
This survey is part of the VNFC’s effort to do more research that is led by and for Indigenous people. Your answers are very important. They will help the VNFC and the community learn where to start conversations about UNDRIP.
The results will help shape future programs at the VNFC and will be shared in a public report. Results will be shared in a way so that your individual responses will not be identified to you.
Thank you for taking this survey!
It will help us understand how connected people feel to UNDRIP, and how much they know about it.
Informed Consent:
We anticipate the survey will take between 12-18 minutes of your time. It is completely your choice whether you participate. You have the right to stop the survey at any time or choose not to answer certain questions.
