Atleo wants leaders to attend Treaty 5 ceremonies
Canada's top native leader says government leaders must attend the upcoming Treaty 5 celebrations in Northwestern Ontario. Speaking in Thunder Bay, Shawn Atleo the Chief of the Assembly of First Nations, says it would show a respect for past actions. He says that's critical because the Crown is the treaty partner and needs to take full responsibility for those errors, but it has yet to happen. So far no government officials have indicated they will be attending the ceremonies.
