This would be their perception towards the objective statement since during this time the Canadian government’s perspective towards First Nations peoples was that in reality, they were equal to legally acknowledged Canadian citizens, and also deserved to be treated as equals, in Canada.

This would have likely been their perception as they perceive all people in their communities as equal Canadians alongside themselves, even the ones who are not in their band or who are mixed race. In addition, they perceive their culture to be generally tolerant and inclusive towards all people.
