The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) was a Canadian royal commission established in 1991 with the aim of investigating the relationship between Indigenous peoples in Canada, the Government of Canada, and Canadian society as a whole.^[1]: 11 It was launched in response to status and rights issues brought to light following events such as the Oka Crisis and the failure of the Meech Lake Accord.^[2] The commission culminated in a final report of 4,000 pages, published in 1996 and set out a 20-year agenda for implementing recommended changes.^[3]
