Playoffs in the Western Hockey League are being upstaged by controversy over an alleged racist comment made by one of the league’s rising stars.

A complaint posted on Facebook under the name of player Brayden Shenn centres on the old myth that Aboriginal people do not pay taxes.

In general, only First Nations people who live on-reserve and who work for an on-reserve company do not pay income tax.

APTN National News reporter Delaney Windigo delves into the controversy.
