The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN), which is a member of the AFN, said it is calling on the Prime Minister to support Lametti’s comments.
FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron said that First Nations have long made the claim that the provinces do not own natural resources and that the “Natural Resources Transfer Agreement is an illegal document.”
“The acknowledgment from the federal government shows a government that wants true reconciliation. This will enable us to make decisions that are going to benefit all of us and our generations to come. Our ancestors are Treaty people and wanted to ensure that we would be able to make a living and prosper just as much as our white brothers and sisters. The sacred covenant was made with the Crown when the jurisdiction over lands and resources was illegal,” Cameron also said in the release.

Huh. This could get interesting. I do wonder if this is Justin calling bluffs on sovereignty acts. What better target than resource revenue to rile up the enemy?
