Resolution 2007-12

Aboriginal Veterans Compensation Package

Whereas the current Aboriginal veterans compensation package, for the most part, excludes off reserve Aboriginal Veterans;

And Whereas wives of Aboriginal Veterans who died prior to 1980 and their children are ineligible to receive the $20,000 compensation package;

Therefore, be it resolved that the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples lobby the Federal government to eliminate the discriminatory treatment that off-reserve Aboriginal Veterans and their families face.
