Dissatisfied Chiefs In Canada Could Form New First Nations Group

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, June 28 (UPI) — Indian chiefs in Canada dissatisfied with the Assembly of First Nations could form a breakaway organization at an upcoming conference, they said.

The National Treaty Gathering will be held July 14-18 at Onion Lake, Saskatchewan, at the same time the Assembly of First Nations holds its annual conference in Whitehorse, Yukon, and conferees must choose which to attend, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Friday.

The agenda of the Saskatchewan event shows Grand Chief Derek Nepinak of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs will present the idea of a new group, tentatively named the National Treaty Alliance.

Nepinak said there is a general feeling of exclusion and a sense the Assembly of First Nations is not listening to grievances.

“Indigenous people across the country stand firm on recognizing that change needs to happen. We have to get past those political power vacuums that we’ve allowed to persist for too long, where very few people are allowed to share their ideas and their perspectives on what we need to do,” he said.

“If the AFN is not stepping up and defending our rights, we have to,” said Chief Delbert Wapass of Saskatchewan’s Thunderchild First Nation.

      WHY the AFN may be “DRAGGING its HEELS” on CRITICALLY N.B. ISSUES?

      Regarding the article entitled “Dissatisfied Chiefs In Canada Could Form New First Nations Group” in “Before it’s News”, Friday, June 28, 2013,
      many Native & non Native Canadians, Chinese, Europeans, et al, are asking;
      are the 95% – 99% of Native community members which are the most vulnerable band members (& similarly for non Natives) aware of why the existing Assembly of First Nations (AFN) may be “dragging its heels” on critically important issues, such as:

      1) how The W.A.D. Accord empowers the individual, most vulnerable band
      members (& non Natives),
      2) how the deprivation of the information about The WAD Accord,
      etc. provides the basis for THE COMPENSATION that is paid directly
      to the individual band members in order eliminate their “disadvantages”,
      (ie. eliminate, &/or, minimize the basis for the unconscionably high rates
      of SUICIDES, despair, disenchantment, poverty, unemployment, etc.),
      3) how the AFN may be using The Compensation in order to extract
      further exclusive advantages for their leadership from all of the parties
      in the Canada-China Investment Treaty (C-CIT) & the Canada-European Union
      Agreement (CETA), et al,
      4) how the AFN is lobbying & PAYING CONSIDERATIONS to all of the political
      parties that are operating in Canada TO PROMOTE their leaderships’
      privileged (secret) positions on issues with the party in power & TO PROTECT their positions by paying the considerations the “also ran” parties in order to limit the scope of the “opposition” to their (the leaders of the AFN) positions on issues, such as The WAD
      Accord’s Compensation
      &
      5) et al.

      Will the AFN’s leadership defend itself by arguing that:
      1) they are secretly fighting corporate Canada’s lobbyists at the present for
      a retroactive component in the aforementioned WAD Accord’s Compensation
      which may be a more comprehensive Compensation for the band councils’
      control,
      or,
      2) it is in the process of serving China, the European Union & Canada with
      their (“your”) notifications:

      “NOTIFICATION of the PRE-EXISTING CHALLENGE to the CANADA – CHINA
      INVESTMENT TREATY”
      and
      “NOTIFICATION of the PRE-EXISTING CHALLENGE to the CANADA – EUROPEAN UNION
      COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC & TRADE AGREEMENT”

      which may increase their leverage when they serve the aforementioned groups
      with their “Notifications of AFTER the FACT Challenges”after the Treaty &
      Agreement have been ratified,
      2) they are waiting while the AFN leaders’ form of governance has been
      designed (in secrecy) & then legitimized by putting it in to operation in order
      to protect the (“despot”*) privileges of secrecy for leaders of the AFN, et al,
      3) they are waiting for the re-opening of all of the existing Treaties with First
      Nations in order to include the remedies that is in the comprehensive version
      of The W.A.D. Accord
      &
      3) et al?

      For those who may not be familiar with The WAD Accord, &/or, its recent developments, The Accord can be accessed on line by way of the submission entitled:

      “Towards a More Informed Opinion regarding the Environmental Impact & Context of the NGP (Pipeline), et al”, Researched & Submitted by D.E.H.S., July 24, 2012 to the Enbridge Co.’s NGP Joint Review Panel..
