AFN calls on Ottawa, provinces to protect treaty rights in wake of Alberta separatism

First Nations leaders are urging Ottawa and provincial governments to safeguard treaty rights amid rising concerns over potential threats from separatist movements in Alberta. They're worried that regional divisions could undermine longstanding agreements that protect Indigenous rights and lands. This push highlights the critical need to uphold these treaties to ensure the rights and autonomy of First Nations peoples are respected across Canada, emphasizing the importance of unity and federal responsibility in protecting these vital legal and cultural agreements.
