First Nations poverty, Attawapiskat school, suicides, water
Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief Phil Fontaine talks about First Nations poverty, health care, suicide rates, the fight for a school in Attawapiskat, Ontario, children, education, safe drinking water, the First Nations housing crisis, unemployment, Indigenous languages, human rights (repeal of Section 67 of the Charter), and success stories.
"There are over 100 First Nation communities that operate under boil water advisories. So what is the response to that? Well the first response is to blame Chief and Council. Well we didn't pollute and contaminate our water source. It's someone else that did that but we're expected to fix that." (Read about the clean water crisis in Native communities on the Polaris Institute website at http://www.polarisinstitute.org/boiling_point_0 and http://www.polarisinstitute.org/files/Boiling%20Point_0.pdf )
"We don't want more than ordinary Canadians have, but we certainly want to receive what ordinary Canadians expect, and in fact receive, from their governments."
