If your nation, community or organization is interested in Traditional Law-Making, or the Revitalization of Indigenous Governance, especially with Bill C-92, you can now book me for a presentation either online or in-person. You can visit my website at: ination.ca

The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal wants answers. It has ordered Canada and chiefs to submit plans to end discrimination against First Nations children in care. The plans differ sharply. What happens next, tonight on Nation to Nation.

As each day passes, Canadians, including First Nations, are realizing “Elbows up” from the PM is a Sham. Chief Mercredi to the PM today: “I was hoping to hear what the crisis is for Canada, I didn’t hear that … (regarding 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 relations) … and “you want us to give you a leap of faith to support you on legislation that’s causing Fear for us” … The government needs a new strategy based on Treaty regional engagement.

As we prepare for this last minute meeting with the Prime Minister, these are the situations our communities are facing. We cannot talk about resource development until our people have access to basic necessities, like food and water. cbc.ca/news/canada/th…

Advocates are warning that cutting billions of dollars from the federal Indigenous services budget, as the Carney government intends to do, could worsen the quality of essential programs and may spark lawsuits that would cost more money in the long term. cbc.ca/news/indigenou…

@johnsummit lmao

We need commitments to rebuild the homes that have been lost in Hall Lake, Sucker River, & Denare Beach & desperately needed supports in the meantime @MarkJCarney @fsinations

Dozens of First Nations leaders from across the country gathered in front of Parliament Hill Monday with a message for the King as he arrived in the city — respect your treaty partners. #cdnpoli #RoyalVisit halifax.citynews.ca/2025/05/26/chi…

Many Indigenous peoples are wondering if there will be an Indigenous person or people in Prime Minister @MarkJCarney 45th Federal Cabinet. There hasn't been a First Nations person in cabinet since 2019. Indigenous people have been represented solely by (Métis) Minister Daniel Vandal (St. Boniface--St. Vital, MB) since 2019, when he retired; we won't see his face around the cabinet table anymore. cc: @marcomendicino #45thcabinet #45thhouseofcommons #indigenous #firstnation #metis #ministers #cabinetdecisions

For immediate release and it’s time to return the sacred items.

For the first time ever, an Indigenous person has been chosen to lead the federal department responsible for providing services to First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities. #cdnpoli thestar.com/politics/feder…

AFN joins calls for repatriation of cultural items from Hudson’s Bay. Way to go @AMCMBChiefs @AFN_Updates. Nothing should be put to auction without giving us a chance to reclaim. aptnnews.ca/national-news/…

I'm out here running for office, literally 🏃🏽‍♀️#winnipegcentre #communityatthecentre

1st official day down! 36 more to go! Proud of our team today as we were out working hard to meet & listen directly from the constituents of Edmonton Northwest.

The AFN will consider the Final Settlement Agreement for reform of the First Nation child welfare system. The $48 billion cash settlement is significant, but do the proposed reforms go far enough? yellowheadinstitute.org/2024/09/12/ref…

The Caring Society filed hundreds of pages of evidence including letters/docs from First Nations, First Nations organizations, professionals, service providers, families and Canada’s own documents and witness testimony. AFN had no letters supporting its positions.
