New organization to ‘take up off-reserve peoples causes,’ says Ernie Crey
A new group led by a veteran aboriginal rights leader hopes to be the political voice for B.C.’s urban aboriginal people.
“There is no regional or B.C.-wide organization to take up off-reserve peoples causes and their issues,” Northwest Indigenous Council (NWIC) spokesperson Ernie Crey said.
Crey hopes the NWIC will fill that gap.
“There is a crying need for an advocacy voice and that’s where we plan to step up to bat and fill that role,” he said.
