A Federal Court judge has approved a $23-billion settlement, the largest in Canadian history, for more than 300,000 First Nations children and their families who've suffered from the federal government's chronic underfunding of on-reserve child welfare services.
It’s the result of a complaint first made in 2007 by the Assembly of First Nations and the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada.
David Akin explains the significance of the historic agreement, and what advocates say still needs to be done.
