"When I die," Spence said, "I expect my body to be carried out of here with honour, with Ray [Robinson], and to go and lay in peace with my ancestors."

Spence said that she's getting weaker every day and her blood pressure is going down, but she added that doctors who speak to the media about the effects of 40 days without eating have not seen her.

Spence responded angrily when Dussault asked about an audit of her Attiwapiskat reserve that revealed spending mismanagement and poor accounting practices.

"The media has been doing that. For you to make that kind of statement, that's very rude of you and that's how you mislead Canadian citizens," Spence said.

Ellen Gabriel, of the Indigenous Women of Turtle Island, said Friday that the prime minister is fostering hatred of aboriginals across the country by failing to condemn racist reactions to the Idle No More movement.

A letter from Buckingham Palace dated Jan. 7, obtained this week by The Canadian Press, told a Spence supporter that the chief should deal with the federal cabinet. "This is not a matter in which The Queen would intervene," says the letter.

Gabriel said on CBC's Power & Politics Friday that the Queen was "shirking her responsibilities."
