The IRLF is supposed to guide all interactions between Canada and First Nations – with the aim of getting rid of the Indian Act.
But what do chiefs think of this? According to one candidate, they need more information.
Now that election is over and most Chiefs have confirmed thier lack of cocern with Federal proposals the people are left to face change on their own. They should pay more attention to what lies ahead when they vote invtheirblocal Chiefs. They will have to organize to protect the right to self-determination in the coming year ahead. I pray we have enough people who care about what their forefathers stood for in their treaties with the Crown.

The AFN does not represent the Grassroots people ; it’s just another old boys club and make a mockery of our Grassroots people ; how many of those Chiefs asked their people who they should vote for NONE. No democracy on the reserves ; issues are not addressed; the poverty ; the drug/alcohol that are crippling our people . Isn’t it interesting that they ( Chiefs ) are exclusive members to the large pots that they think they own . Our Monies ; sickening
