Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations Chief Bobby Cameron says the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the urgent need for better housing in First Nations communities.
Cameron said the treaty right to housing is not being fulfilled, with many large families crammed into drafty homes, several people often forced to sleep in each bedroom and everyone sharing one bathroom.
He said these things makes it extremely difficult to isolate if there s a suspected or confirmed COVID case.
