Indigenous Leaders Again Left Out of First Ministers Meeting as Tensions Grow
- The Assembly of First Nations was again excluded from the upcoming first ministers meeting in Ottawa planned for early June 2025.
- This exclusion follows a longstanding pattern where the Assembly only secures secondary meetings, prompting warnings about decisions without Indigenous involvement.
- Simultaneously, Ontario’s controversial Bill 5, designed to speed up development by expanding cabinet powers, faces strong opposition from Indigenous leaders across the province.
- Chiefs Alvin Fiddler and Abram Benedict criticized the lack of consultation, calling the process disrespectful and warning the bill may trigger protests and legal challenges.
- These developments suggest rising tensions as Indigenous groups insist on meaningful partnership rights, while governments prepare amendments but face enduring distrust.
