Story summary

First Nations leaders, including Assembly of First Nations National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak, are gathering for a historic meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney and Canada’s premiers in Ottawa. This is the first such meeting since the 2005 Kelowna Accord, aimed at addressing socioeconomic gaps in Indigenous communities. The tension stems from Carney's government passing legislation to streamline major project approvals, which First Nations leaders say threatens their rights. Woodhouse Nepinak emphasizes the need for tangible results and continued dialogue beyond this meeting. Meanwhile, Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew called for abolishing the Indian Act during a closed-door session with Carney, an idea that Carney has expressed openness to exploring further through consultation.
