Earlier this week Member of Parliament Niki Ashton questioned the Minister of Indigenous Affairs about urgent First Nations and Metis concerns. She explained that on October 21st First Nations and Metis people in Churchill Keewatinook Aski sent a message to this Liberal government that enough of promising a new relationship and doing the opposite, enough of promising the Dene to settle the north of 60 land claim and bailing, enough of promising to resolve the housing crisis on First Nations and failing, enough of ignoring the suicide crisis in Gods Lake Narrows where over one hundred people primarily young girls have attempted suicide in the last four months. Minister Marc Miller stated health teams are working closely with their partners in Manitoba to coordinate crisis response and mental wellness supports. He added they are in regular contact with the community of Gods Lake Narrows and officials will be meeting with community leadership to support the needs of the community.
