First Nations

Abolish the Indian Act. We have nothing to lose but our chains. We will, of course, need new legislation that is an interface between the Federal government and First Nations. And this MUST be created alongside Chiefs and First Nation governments every step of the way. But it is time to move past the era of this outdated, racist, and patriarchal legislation. I support Prime Minister Carney’s work to position Canada as a global leader in human rights and democracy. The Indian Act is inconsistent with achieving that vision. Our laws at home should reflect the values we champion around the world. It’s time for a relationship with First Nations people that reflects who we are as Canadians today, recognizes nationhood, and lives up to the true nature of reconciliation.

Building Canada strong starts with trust and partnership. By working directly with First Nations, we can turn shared ambitions into concrete results. Tomorrow, Prime Minister Carney will meet with First Nations leaders and premiers to advance this work.

A special thank you to the First Nation, Métis and Inuit people who showed up in record numbers to help save Canada! We are all so deeply grateful for Indigenous communities and the extraordinary contributions they bring to our province and country.

"I want to make it clear tonight that for as long as I am premier I will honor this mandate from Albertans & will not be holding another mandate on this issue". As the province funds a multi million dollar legal battle against the First Nations fighting the separatist question

Trust and success are built by what we accomplish together. Canada is building a stronger, more just, more prosperous future in partnership with First Nations.

Mark Carney: "It's sobering that this is the first time in over two decades that first ministers and First Nations have met together. This is an important opportunity, yes, to share perspectives, to listen, to learn, but above all, to commit to action. So let's seize this opportunity."

For the first time in two decades, Canada’s First Ministers and First Nations leadership are meeting. Our focus is clear: what we can build and deliver together. Major infrastructure. More homes. Better health care. Safer communities. Better preparation for emergencies. Building a stronger, fairer, and more inclusive Canada for all.

It is being hailed as a historic gathering. Next week, First Nations and the prime minister and premiers will sit down together in Ottawa. What should we expect to go down at the meeting? That is one of the topics this week on Truth & Politics.

It's our job to work together — the federal government, First Ministers, First Nations leaders — to make sure that everything we do leads to real, positive change in people’s lives.

BREAKING - Mark Carney announces $2.5 Billion to "bolster emergency preparedness" of climate change in First Nation communities.

Natives converge in #Ottawa to denounce the federal 🇨🇦 government and their hand-picked Indians aka AFN. We are done with the colonial infrastructures: Indian Act, AFN, band office c&c, etc WE ARE NATIONS OF COLLECTIVE TITLE & RIGHTS HOLDERS, we hold the PEOPLE POWER 🔥🔥🔥

Serious Question: We spent $47 Billion last year on First Nations. If they don't have housing or "safe drinking water"... who is to blame? Is it a case of not enough money? Or simply a case of incompetence at best and downright corruption at worse?

Four First Nations and Tribes ran out of ballots this afternoon This is amazing to see Treaty members showing up and staying late for Alberta Siksika Nation Louisville Tribe Whitefish lake FN And the Blood Tribe (Kainai)

The vote is over. The fight isn’t. Treaty 6, 7 and 8 leaders just put Alberta on notice: own the harm. The courtroom battles, the “check themselves” insults, the racism First Nations people faced at the grocery store. All of it. Read/Share my latest via Indigenous Insider:
