Snuneymuxw people are faced with all the harsh realities

Postby admin » Wed Jan 25, 2012 9:25 am

NANAIMO - First Nations leaders from across Vancouver Island, and across Canada were in Ottawa demanding change at a landmark summit with the federal government.

They say the "Indian Act" is outdated and has failed not only their people, but the entire country.

First Nations communities face chronic poverty, unsafe drinking water, and substandard living conditions and leaders say now is the time to take a stand.

In Nanaimo the Snuneymuxw people are faced with all the harsh realities of life on a reservation, and say after decades of fighting for change, nothing is happening.
