National Indigenous leaders snubbed the recent premiers meeting over the inclusion of organizations with questionable legitimacy. skpoli
This has been upheld by the Supreme Court, which ruled that First Nations people have a right to vote in their band elections if they are resident off reserve. This means we have representation through our chief and council and don’t need another body speaking for us.
And further, through the vehicle of Treaty Land Entitlement, more and more first Nations are acquiring land in urban areas employing their people with plans for housing in the future. Clearly, our leaders are representing their people who live off reserve. This has been pointed out to the media and the politicians repeatedly, but they fail to grasp the seriousness of the situation. Governments use CAP to drive a wedge between the Metis and Indigenous people and muddy the waters.
This charade has gone on too long and CAP must redefine its membership and mandate. I agree that there is need for representation for Indigenous people that have lost land or have become unrecognized as First Nations.
