Chief Rodney Nahwegahbow from @whitefishriverfn explains why First Nations leaders are opposing Bill C-53

"What I'm calling for is a responsible government who will include First Nations in a proper and transparent review of this claim made by the MNO before finalizing any legislation [...] and to withhold Bill C-53 and conduct a proper review of evidence."

The Chiefs of Ontario is formally inviting all First Nations Leadership, technicians, and grassroots people to attend a demonstration on Wednesday, September 20, 2023 in Ottawa, ON, to oppose the passing of Bill C-53 #KillTheBill

We encourage First Nations across the Ontario region, and in other regions across the country, to stand in solidarity against Bill C-53, which affirms that all Métis Communities represented by the MNO have the right to self-determination, including the right to self-government under s. 35. The legislation will also recognize MNO as a Métis Government and an Indigenous Governing Body.
