After three days of talks, two resolutions and about 200 chiefs and proxies in attendance the Assembly of First Nations annual winter gathering in Gatineau, Quebec ended Friday.
As APTN’s Annette Francis reports some chiefs were less than impressed with what was accomplished.
Awwww, the afn special assembly aint about the meetings or the resolution. Its about the galla and the after parties. Its about how drunk veryone can get that nite. Come on everyone knows that. Pretty dam shamefull if u ask me when this week is spose to be about bettering our people and all its about is the party and after partyies. JUST SHAMEFULL!!!!
Knowing that our leadership was there for three days and having only two resolutions accomplished is disappointing! I agree that we have to be united as one. As an anishnaabek kwe, I know for a fact that most of our people have been telling our leadership this for years! There was a lot of issues that were discussed last year, , was there any follow up? I bet not !! It seems this all they know how to do is talk. Where is the action that is suppose to come from these meetings? I for one haven’t seen any !! Our leadership should be working hard to keep the momentum going in regards to idle no more, as the Government is not listening to our leadership, but if our first Nation citizens and Leadership work together, maybe, just maybe they will listen !! Nahow..Baamaampii !!
