Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Assembly of First Nations?

The Assembly of First Nations held its first assembly of Chiefs in Penticton, B.C., in April 1982. The Charter of the Assembly of First Nations was then adopted in 1985. AFN is the national advocacy organization representing First Nation citizens in Canada, which includes more than 900,000 people living in 634 First Nation communities and in cities and towns across the country.

Who are the First Nations?

The First Nations are the Indigenous Peoples of Canada who live predominantly south of the Arctic. This term applies to status and non-status Indigenous Peoples and can also refer to bands or nations (for example, "First Nations people in the Lake Superior region" and "the Curve Lake First Nation"). The term does not include Inuit or Métis.

How long have First Nations been in Canada?

First Nations peoples have been in North America tens of thousands of years, but there are indications that they settled and established trade routes across what is now Canada by 1000 BC. As both permanent and seasonal communities became established, diverse and sophisticated cultures, customs, languages and characters also emerged from coast to coast to coast.

What is a First Nations band?

A band is a group of First Nation people for whom land has been set apart and for whom money is held in trust by the Crown. Each band has its own governing Band Council, usually consisting of one or more chiefs, and several councillors who are either elected or chosen through traditional custom.

A band (also referred to as a First Nation) is also the basic unit of government for those who are subject to the Indian Act. There are currently 634 recognized bands in Canada. First Nations bands are also known as First Nations communities.

What is a Band Council?

A Band Council is the governing body of a band set up under the requirements of the federal Indian Act. Each First Nation is typically represented by a Band Council chaired by an elected chief, and sometimes also a hereditary chief. Chiefs and councils are colonial structures that were imposed on First Nations and are not the same as traditional governance structures. Councils are elected for two- or three-year terms (under the Indian Act or band custom) to carry out First Nation business, which may include education; water, sewer and fire services; bylaws; community buildings, schools and roads; and other community businesses and services.

What is the Indian Act?

The Indian Act, first introduced in 1876, is the principal statute through which the federal government administers local First Nations governments and manages reserve land. It outlines governmental obligations to First Nations peoples and determines "status" - a legal recognition of a person's First Nations heritage, which affords certain rights such as the right to live on reserve land. It remains the primary document defining how the federal government interacts with the First Nations in Canada and their members.

What is a Status Indian?

An individual recognized by the federal government as being registered under the Indian Act is referred to as a Status Indian. They are entitled to programs and services offered to First Nations individuals by federal agencies and provincial governments.

What is a reserve?

A reserve is land set apart and designated for the use and occupancy of members of a First Nation. Reserves should not be confused with land claims areas, which involve all of that First Nation's traditional lands - a much larger territory than reserve land.

How many reserves are there in Canada?

There are 3,100 reserves across Canada.

What are land claims?

Land claims are divided into two broad categories: comprehensive (known as modern treaties) and specific, which are claims based on pre-existing treaties or agreements. Comprehensive claims are based on the traditional use and occupancy of land by First Nations, Métis and Inuit who did not sign treaties. Specific claims are filed by First Nations who claim that the federal government did not fulfill its obligations either under historic treaties or the Indian Act. Types of specific claims include the inadequate allocation of reserve land, the failure to protect reserve land from unlawful disposition or lease, fraud on the part of government employees, and the misadministration of First Nations' funds and other assets. Specific claims are settled by negotiation or by court action, and settlements can consist of monetary compensation or land.

What is the Declaration of First Nations?
We the Original Peoples of this land know the Creator put us here. The Creator gave us laws that govern all our relationships to live in harmony with nature and mankind. The Laws of the Creator defined our rights and responsibilities. The Creator gave us our spiritual beliefs, our languages, our culture and a place on Mother Earth which provided us with all our needs. We have maintained our Freedom, our Languages and our Traditions from time immemorial. We continue to exercise the rights and fulfill the responsibilities and obligations given to us by the Creator for the land upon which we were placed. The Creator has given us the right to govern ourselves and the right to self-determination. The rights and responsibilities given to us by the Creator cannot be altered or taken away by any other Nation.

BIO

Baloji is an artist in motion, a musician, poet, film director, a man of images and ideas.

He's in motion like the inhabitants of Avenue Kaniama in Lubumbashi. In motion like the synthetic afro beats he produces, the fruit of an unlikely alliance between rockrumba and futurist funk. In perpetual motion, like his limbs on stage as he fronts the Kaniama Show band, leading them in a sensual voodoo trance.

In motion like the era captured by his pen, an era where the intimate and the political come together and clash.

​

137 Avenue Kaniama is Baloji's third album and the first to appear on the Bella Union label (John Grant, Fleet Foxes, Beach House...).

​

Baloji means "man of science" in Swahili, but during the colonial period, that meaning shifted as a result of Christian evangelisation, to signify "man of the occult sciences" and then "sorcerer".

Baloji was born in Lubumbashi (DRC Congo) and grew up in Belgium. As a teenager, he started his first rap collective, Starflam. In 2008, as Baloji, he released "Hotel Impala" an album conceived as a reply to a letter he received from his mother after a 25-year absence.

Baloji directs his own videos and the creates the visuals for his varied projects. His first short fiction film, "KANIAMA SHOW", will be released in March 2018. It takes the form of a satire on African propaganda TV shows. His first feature film, for which he has written the screenplay, is planned for 2019

L'album 137 Avenue Kaniama confirme cette formidable exigence artistique que nous avions tous perçue dès Hôtel Impala, la première œuvre en solo de Baloji parue en 2008. Ce premier album donnait alors le " la " d'un parcours inscrit dans un projet esthétique grandiose : dire les fêlures du monde à travers les sonorités de notre temps, sans pour autant s'écarter de l'héritage des chantres de la musique du continent noir. Si le Nigérian Fela Kuti donna à l'Afro Beat ses lettres de noblesse, Baloji, pour sa part, emprunte d'année en année une voie que je qualifierais de World Beat, une voie de la rumeur du monde, depuis son Congo natal fragilisé politiquement jusqu'à ses sœurs et frères pris dans le cercle de la migration entre le Nord et le Sud...

137 Avenue Kaniama distille une atmosphère rythmique qui convoque notre héritage musical des années 1970, cette époque d'apothéose artistique où les sons (re)venus de l'Amérique noire fusionnaient avec ceux du continent noir.

137 Avenue Kaniama est aussi un livre, avec ses clins d'œil (allusions à Dany Laferrière ou encore reprise de la verve inventive de Tchicaya U'Tamsi et sa célèbre formule de " Congaulois " etc.). Ici nous sommes dans un univers bariolé, riche en paroles, en paraboles, un univers qui conte, qui raconte et qui pointe du doigt les travers de nos sociétés désormais ravagées par les dommages collatéraux de la mondialisation. Baloji, avec sa flamboyance légendaire, nous donne une réponse d'artiste témoin de son temps. À nous maintenant d'habiter cet espace où la liberté a le visage de l'Art !

The album 137 Avenue Kaniama is the confirmation of the formidable artistic statement we all became aware of from the release of Hotel Impala, Baloji's first solo album, in 2008. That first album was the first step on the path of a great aesthetic project: talking about the fractures in the world using the sounds of our time, without getting too far away from the heritage of the musical trailblazers of the dark continent. If the Nigerian Fela Kuti ennobled Afro Beat, year after year Baloji takes the path of what I would describe as World Beat, a path that takes a whisper of the world's torment from his politically fragile native Congo, all the way to his sisters and brothers caught up in the cycle of migration between the North and the South...

137 Avenue Kaniama is the distillation of a rhythmic atmosphere which calls on the musical heritage of the 1970s, that era of artistic apotheosis, when Afro-American artists were inspired by African music and vice versa.

137 Avenue Kaniama is also a book, with all its references (allusions to Dany Laferrière, or coopting the inventive energy of Tchicaya U'Tamsi and his famous expression, "Congaulois", etc.). We are in a patchwork universe here, rich in words, parables, a universe of stories, poetry in motion, which points a finger at the failings of our societies, now ravaged by collateral damage from globalisation. Baloji, with his legendary flamboyance, offers an artist-witness's response to his era. Now it's up to us to inhabit this space where freedom takes the form of art!
