"Buxton’s offer to the #Haida was part of a remarkable year-long initiative in which the small local museum has returned an entire collection of Native American and First Nation artefacts...to their original communities. The last of them, 12 objects including ceremonial stone weapons, flint arrowheads and a medicine bag, were dispatched last month to members of the #Siksika nation in #Blackfoot Crossing in #Alberta"

Trudeau signs historic $1.3B land claim settlement with Alberta First Nation

Canada must honour the treaties we signed with First Nations; we must do what we can to correct matters when we cheated people.

Still $1.3B is a lot. Wikipedia says there were 7534 members in 2020. That would be over $170 000 for every man, woman and child. I hope the money is used wisely.
