First Nations chiefs across Alberta unanimously passed a vote of non-confidence in the Alberta government this week, citing concerns around the separatist movement and a failure to meet their treaty responsibilities.
In a news release, the Assembly of Treaty Chiefs of Treaty No. 6, Treaty No. 7, Treaty No. 8 said the provincial government, governed by the United Conservative Party, has repeatedly shown a lack of understanding and respect for its treaty responsibilities, demonstrating its “inability to responsibly and respectfully govern the province of Alberta."
“We have to put [the government] on notice that this is completely unacceptable,” Trevor Mercredi, grand Chief of Treaty 8 First Nations of Alberta, told CBC News.
