According to a long-time observer of Saskatchewan First Nations and Metis politics, aboriginal people in Saskatchewan could become a serious political force in this year’s federal election.
John Lagimodiere, editor of Eagle Feather News, has been watching coverage of this week’s Assembly of First Nations (AFN) meetings in Montreal.
At the meetings, AFN Chief Perry Bellegarde urged First Nations people to get out and vote.
Traditionally, First Nations and Metis people haven’t voted in federal elections. However, Lagimodiere thinks that’s changing.
