Elizabeth May and Chief Isadore Day,Wiindawtegowinini Issue Call for Political Cooperation
Chief Isadore Day:

Statistics state that one in four First Nation children are poverty-affected, and sadly we are still under a 1996 two-percent funding cap that perpetuates these travesties.
Elizabeth May:

Canada must move forward in implementing the spirit of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
