King Charles is scheduled to meet with Canadian Indigenous leaders ahead of his May 6 coronation ceremony.
The May 4 pre-coronation engagement at Buckingham Palace will include Assembly of First Nations Chief Roseanne Archibald, Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami president Natan Obed and Métis National Council president Cassidy Caron."His Majesty has had a long-standing relationship with Canada’s Indigenous people and this meeting is an example of The King continuing that journey of listening and deepening his understanding," a press release from Buckingham Palace said.
"What is new in this case is that these meetings are taking place in the lead up to the coronation, as part of the actual coronation ceremonies," Groat told CTVNews.ca. "It's a clear recognition of Charles meeting [Indigenous] leaders the same ways that he is meeting heads of state this week." "I think that Charles is very aware of the cultural and political climate right now on perspectives of the monarchy," Groat said. "One thing that I always bring attention to is the fact that we currently have Mary Simon as the Governor General, an Inuk woman, the first Indigenous Governor General, as the official representative of King Charles III."
