First Nations take Alberta premier to task over separatist rhetoric – Western Wheel
May 08 2025
“This is treaty country, and any talk of separation is really insanity”
First Nations leaders say a silver lining to the “rhetoric and insanity” brought about by talks of Alberta separatism has united Indigenous communities “all across Canada, from coast to coast to coast.”
Piikani Nation Chief Troy Knowlton said Alberta First Nations are gearing up for a fight with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.
“We’re not going anywhere and if you feel that you have problems with First Nations, you could leave,” Knowlton said.
