On #RedDressDay, we stand with all Survivors, families, and Nations in honouring the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. 6 years the National Inquiry’s Final Report was release and yet only 2 Calls for Justice have been fully implemented

We need urgent action to ensure First Nations women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people can live in safety, with dignity, and free from violence. I encourage all Canadians to read the Final Report and its 231 Calls for Justice: mmiwg-ffada.ca/final-report/ #NoMoreStolenSisters #RedDressDay

Thank you to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for the invitation to the speak at your national convention in Ottawa. It was a great opportunity to talk about common ground, prosperity for all and the national significance of closing Canada’s First Nations infrastructure gap. #cdnpoli #fcm #afn

A letter my office just sent Doug Ford in response to his appalling statement that First Nations “cannot keep coming hat in hand to the government for more money.” #honourthecrown

"Until an appropriate process, founded in free, prior and informed consent is established between First Nations rights holders and the Crown, the Crown’s legal obligations will not be met." - National Chief Woodhouse Nepinak

“First Nations and Canada are once again at a critical point in our nation-to-nation relationship… From the War of 1812 and throughout this country’s history, First Nations have bravely fought for this country when it faced a crisis.”

“First Nations have inhabited these Territories long before colonial borders were established. We have been generous and have always supported economic growth and prosperity for all - but not at the expense of our rights and of the people environment.”

“You (PM Carney) said your government would have to match First Nations with financing certainty so projects can move through. Strong words require action. They require follow-up. We need to work together now to change the lives of First Nations children for the better.”

“We call on Canada to host a similar meeting a year from now…It is important Canada works with First Nations leadership from coast to coast to coast… Let’s close the First Nations’ infrastructure gap.”

As Parliament resumes, our advocacy continues. Met with Minister Mandy Gull-Masty on many issues including the First Nations housing & infrastructure gap. Thank you for taking time to meet yesterday and I look forward to working together.

This year, AFN staff and National Chief AFN National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak stood together to honour Orange Shirt Day, reflecting on the ongoing impact of residential schools.
