US EditionIndigenous leaders hopeful for Carney-led government on economy, reconciliation
- Indigenous leaders expressed cautious optimism about Prime Minister Mark Carney's government and its economic and reconciliation plans following his election in May 2025 in Ottawa.
- This optimism is based on Carney’s platform, which includes commitments to fund Inuit Nunangat University, expand reserve lands, support the revitalization of Indigenous languages, and address the significant infrastructure shortfall—estimated at $350 billion—that affects First Nations communities.
- Leaders highlighted priorities such as transforming the Nutrition North subsidy into a more accountable program, expanding social supports like the Inuit Child First Initiative, and advancing self-government agreements despite previous legal and inter-community challenges.
- Natan Obed emphasized that although significant progress has been made, it is crucial to maintain momentum and avoid setbacks that could undermine the advances achieved over the past decade. Meanwhile, Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak described the election of Indigenous MPs as an outstanding accomplishment.
- These commitments and dialogues suggest careful continuation of reconciliation efforts with an increased economic focus, while Indigenous leaders urge urgent action and partnership to address ongoing disparities and infrastructure needs.
