A senior aide to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rebuked Canada for its treatment of Aboriginal people in a letter to former Ojibway chief Terrance Nelson who is running for the leadership of the Assembly of First Nations.
Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan said Friday he’d work with Terry Nelson if the former Ojibway chief, who recently made headlines by courting Iran and forging ties to the Muslim community, becomes the next national chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
On Good Friday in a mosque on the outskirts of Toronto, former Ojibway chief Terry Nelson sat on a chair holding eagle feathers while around him hundreds of Muslim faithful knelt on prayer rugs listening to the Imam preach about the “genocide” committed against Indigenous peoples in North America.
