Over 500 human rights complaints have been filed by Aboriginal people against governing bodies in the last six years.
In 2008, the federal government repealed Section 67 of the Canadian Human Rights Act giving First Nations people full access to Canadian human rights law for the first time in history.
The Canadian Human Rights Commission says, since the repeal, 339 complaints have been made against First Nations governments while 172 complaints have been made against the federal government.
Sixty of these complaints were resolved and mediated by the commission while 29 were passed on to the Human Rights Tribunal.
The CHRC also says close to 60 percent of complaints against First Nations governments were abandoned before they could be dealt with.
