Most Canadians reject the idea that they’re living on “stolen” indigenous land, a recent survey suggests.

With older Canadians comprising the bulk of the majority, 52 percent of those polled across the country say they do not believe they live on stolen indigenous land. Meanwhile, 27 percent think they do, while 21 percent either declined to answer or said they didn’t know.
