Because the courts have less harsh sentances for people from indiginous backgrounds.

In criminal sentencing in Canada, a court is required to take into account all reasonable alternatives to incarcerations, with particular attention to Aboriginal offenders (s. 718.2(e)). It requires the court to take into account circumstances facing Aboriginal peoples. Where the crime is relatively anything other than severe, the court should consider Aboriginal-based sentencing principles such as restorative justice.[citation needed] This incorporates community members and the victim in determining a fit sentence. However, where the crime is more serious, courts will generally find that the Aboriginal-based sentencing principles will converge with more traditional sentencing as they share similar objectives such as protection of the public and deterrence
