Here is what Tsuu T’ina Minor Chief Steven Crowchild said to Trump (as per National Chief Cindy Woodhouse via Facebook):
“When it came to that one individual, I almost didn’t stay. I was filled with rage and I knew by then, that the world was watching. I was going to go home, because I didn’t want to do anything to bring negativity to my people. However, I consulted with some close people, and based on wise feedback I stayed. Visibility is key, diplomacy is important. There was no one else there.
I prayed and tried my best to observe everything. I prayed to creator, my grandmothers, grandfathers, and my mom. I asked them to guide my words and actions in that moment. As I stood on the tarmac next to my good friend Jyoti, I watched Trump approach each delegate before me, and I thought of those suffering around the world, my son, my nation, my ancestors, and waited for him to approach.
Instead of war, I chose peace. Instead of hate, I chose love. Instead of hostility, I tried my best to show humanity. He was just another person, like the ones I greeted before him (some would say a horrible person and we all know many reasons why). I felt strong with my feather hat, which I received a transfer for yesterday, my treaty suit, my beadwork, and good medicine. I stood taller than him as a proud Tsuut’ina. Close as it gets.
I spoke my Tsuut’ina language. I showed him my treaty medal and told him it’s older than Canada and that this is native land. I spoke for my elders, babies, and future generations, and spoke for peace and protecting water for future generations. I tried to say as much as I could, as wisely as I could, while representing with honour and dignity. Whether he listened or not, time will tell.
I don’t care if it was anyone else, in fact, I wish I was someone else. But I’m glad that the world got to witness a treaty suit, treaty medal, beautiful beadwork, precious feather hat, and us. I take assurance in knowing a message of protecting water and peace was spoken to world leaders.”

WOW- Fire words from Mikisew Cree Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro “You will not do what you want without the approval of the Treaty people. You talk about a reset with Canada? First you must reset with the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island”
From earlier today at a press conference held by Treaty Chiefs in opposition to measures of the provincial government implementing Bill 54, which could open the doors for Alberta to separate from Canada.

First Nations in Alberta would go to war if @ABDanielleSmith was to separate Alberta. From Sturgeon Lake Cree Chief Sheldon Sunshine (just one of many) telling it like it is:
“Dear Premier Smith:
You are attempting to manufacture a national unity crisis - by enabling a referendum on separatism and a fanatical cell of individuals - at the exact moment when Canadians need to unite against Donald Trump's America.
The province of Alberta is on Treaty lands.
Please be advised that your irresponsible statements and actions are in breach of Treaties No. 6, 7 and 8. We demand that you immediately stand down from this conduct.
Our Treaties are sacred covenants and are to last forever. Alberta did not exist when our ancestors agreed to share the land with the Crown. The province has no authority to supersede or interfere with our Treaties, even indirectly by passing the buck to a "citizen" referendum.
If you or any Canadians are not happy living on Treaty lands, they are free to apply for citizenship elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Chief Sheldon Sunshine
Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation”

Why in the world would you want the government to build your home? If they were good at this, FN reserves would have the best housing in this country. They can't get safe reliable drinking water to FN communities. Let's start there!

It’s time your government got back in the business of building affordable homes.
