First Nations Issues
Today at 1pm Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and Chief Roxanne Marcel of the Mikisew Cree First Nation will be meeting with Ministers in the Alberta government to convey their frustration at the failures of the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan. Both ACFN & MCFN have made repeated requests to the Government of Alberta to incorporate the meaningful policies and data that would ensure their treaty and Indigenous rights are upheld and yet most of their requests have been effectively ignored.
As today is the last day for the public to fill in the online workbook, it would be great is some folks could find the time between now and 430pm to fill in the workbook and help demand that the LARP uphold treaty and Indigenous rights! Read more »
