3-day gathering comes in the wake of previous assembly where child welfare package was rejected
Hundreds of First Nations chiefs are gathering in Ottawa for three days this week to discuss economic reconciliation, reforming the First Nations child welfare system, the policing system and the carbon price at an Assembly of First Nations’ special chiefs assembly.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is not expected to be in attendance. His wife, Anaida, will speak on a panel about human trafficking on Wednesday. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal said Canada’s underfunding was discriminatory because it meant kids living on reserve were given fewer services than those living off reserve.
“We have to get to that place where we can find a way forward,” Woodhouse Nepinak said in an interview. “We are committed to building a system together where all First Nations children grow up surrounded by their culture, love, and their language,” said spokesperson Jennifer Kozelj.
