FSIN says new federal budget a step in right direction The new federal budget is getting top marks from the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations. In the budget which was released on Monday, the Liberals have pledged $18 billion over five years to improve the quality of life for people living in Indigenous communities.

FSIN Vice-Chief David Pratt said he is impressed that the government has taken a community-based approach with funding for mental health. “It’s very important that capacity is built at the community level because each community – and I am very glad the federal government is not taking a one size fits all approach – but it has to be community-led, community-developed based upon each member nation’s needs and I think this fund will go a long way to address that,” he said.

This live event features the salmon defender in conversation with coastal Indigenous leaders about our wild fish. Then again, the 56-year-old Gitxsan professor of social work never expected that being a children’s champion would get her spied on by the federal government in 2010. Nor did she imagine that in early 2021 she’d still be fighting the same gruelling human rights case against the federal government that she launched in 2007. That case, led by Blackstock’s First Nations Child and Family Caring Society and the Assembly of First Nations, alleged the federal government discriminates against Indigenous children by providing less funding and poorer services than it does for non-Indigenous children.
