Ghislain Picard has been doing the job of national chief since Shawn Atleo stepped down earlier this year.
But can he convince enough chiefs at the election to give him the job full-time?
Picard is a member of the Innu community of Pessamit.
It’s located some 600 km east of Montreal on the shores of the St. Lawrence River.
The father of three, and grandfather of six, says he always prioritizes family values.
“Our children must have access to quality education and quality schools that value our languages and cultures founded on our rights and jurisdiction,” said Picard.
APTN’s Danielle Rochette has more on Picard as part of a APTN’s special broadcast at 4 p.m., EST.
