Our topic this week was the Crown First Nations Gathering that happened on January 24th in Ottawa. The big item on the agenda was the First Nations proposed repeal of the Indian Act, “the law that governs their relationship” with the Federal Government. Harper insisted that there were “deep roots” to the Act and that “blowing it up would just leave a big hole.” This quote was taken up by Huffington Post Blogger Chelsea Vowel, who gave her impression of the Gathering here.
