Dominant cultures do have a poor record in the treatment of their respective indigenous people. Encouragingly, over the past few decades, processes of recognition around the world have accelerated to ameliorate previous neglect. It is not going to be an overnight panacea but a significant starting point to remediation.

The issues are complex but the importance and the value of recognising first people is that it frames the nation's identity reflected in its own culture while the status gifted to the recipients are immeasurable. A small excerpt of an interesting study:

https://intercontinentalcry.org/indigenous-peoples-and-the-politics-of-recognition/

" ... With respect to the forms of racist recognition pounded into the psyches of indigenous peoples through the institutions of the state, church, schools, media, and by racists within the dominant society, the answer is surely yes. Countless studies, novels and autobiographical narratives have outlined, in painful detail, how these expressions of recognition have saddled indigenous people with low self esteem, depression, alcohol and drug abuse, and violent behaviours directed both inward against the self and outwards toward others. ..."
