Robinson Huron Waawiindamaagewin says relationship with federal government could change
In parts of northeastern Ontario, including areas in or around Sudbury and Timmins, First Nation voters could help decide election outcomes, according to the Assembly of First Nations.
For Earl Commanda, executive director of Robinson Huron Waawiindamaagewin, a group that defends treaty rights in the area, this is all the more reason for Indigenous people to weigh their options carefully as they head to the polls next week.
“My advice to Indigenous voters is vote for the candidate you feel is going to protect and maintain that relationship we have with the federal government,” said Commanda.
