The federal government is standing behind its decision to let First Nations cancel and postpone their elections amid the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Minister of Indigenous Services, Marc Miller, announced Thursday the government is launching an appeal after a federal court justice recently ruled one community's council — Acho Dene Koe First Nation, based in Fort Liard, N.W.T. — did not have the power to extend its own term in office.
