Would the Indigenous peoples of Canada agree to colonize Mars? Why?/Why not? Explain.

Answer 1

The answer to this is in the abstract:

Indigenous rights, peoples, and space exploration:

A response to the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) Consulting Canadians on a framework for future space exploration activities Hilding Neilson1 and Elena E. Ćirković2

1. David A. Dunlap Department of Astronomy & Astrophysics, University of Toronto. [email protected]

2. HELSUS, University of Helsinki

In this abstract states that :

We have an ethical duty to consider the rights of the Moon

and Mars from environmental and Indigenous perspectives

to better share the benefits and sustainability of space exploration.

Those rights should be represented by Indigenous peoples as well

as traditional nation-state governance.

I would read the abstract in its entirety because they argue that indigenous are inclusive and excluded from these rights by consideration of different laws/treaties. The abstract is very specific about the reasons the indigenous people are regarded by the laws in Canada and in relation to the crown. They concluded the above in the abstract.
