DRIPA Facts (dripafacts.ca) is an independent, non-partisan fact-check of British Columbia's Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act. The site reviews recurring public claims about DRIPA, UNDRIP, the Cowichan Tribes and Gitxaała Nation rulings, and Section 7 consent agreements, rating each against primary sources. Every fact-check links directly to the document it relies on: a court decision, Hansard transcript, government press release, First Nations organization statement, academic analysis, or the statute itself. The site is bilingual (English and French), publishes under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, and is not affiliated with any political party, government agency, First Nation, industry association, or advocacy organization. Editorial independence and funding are disclosed on the About page.

The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) is a 2019 British Columbia statute that aligns provincial law with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. It passed the BC Legislature unanimously, 87-0. It does not transfer private property and does not create a veto.
