VANCOUVER — Leaders of a Saskatchewan First Nation say historic Canadian governments worked hard to eliminate their culture with colonial policies, now it needs to work even harder to restore it.
Chief Clinton Key and councillors from the Key First Nation say a big step in mending their community is reform of the child welfare system.
Reece says the nation is particularly focused on self-governance legislation in B.C. that doesn't address the needs of"extraprovincial" First Nations that have members spread across the country. Key told a news conference on Tuesday that the nation is proud to be taking its first steps to control its own child and welfare services.
The letter outlined the nation's grave concerns about the B.C. government’s inaction on the teen's disappearance and death, and it calls on the government to address systemic failures that compromised the girl’s safety and her family’s access to information. The letter to Eby says the disparity between outcomes for Indigenous and non-Indigenous children in government care needs to be identified and changed.
"Too many of our families have been torn apart by a system that does not meet their best interests," Key said."We believe that there is another way."
