Assembly of First Nations

Thank you to CPAC for providing the very informative, unfiltered content of this AFN news conference, unlike other media inclined to cover all policy issues simply as a political boxing match.

I just want to say thank you for being such a strong voice for your people, and standing up on behalf of the lands and waters. Even though I am of European descent, I have long valued aboriginal beliefs and culture, and I also think, with reference to the points Chief Atleo brought up at the conference, that your people have been getting the short end of the stick for far too long. I applaud all of those who are behind you, and you can count me as one of them. I wish you all the best in attaining real achievement for all first nations and people, and mother nature across Canada. Keep it up!

Powerful - powerful elucidating of issues ... PM Harper and relevant government heads' need to make this meeting! The resolve-conviction expressed in this delegation, representing current members' of Nations on hunger strikes should be of grave concerns to the Crown-Canadian Legislative body ... what a revelation - what a black eye to the Canadian government!

I agree most thankfully with M. Norton - very informative, focussed, respectful TV, different from anything I've seen before. It works fine across the Atlantic, with few if any "hangups". Without you I would have known nothing; Swedish media seem to have missed what happened today. :) Thanks
