The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations says today’s federal election has the chance to show Canada the power of the Indigenous vote.
The FSIN is encouraging every eligible Indigenous voter in Saskatchewan to get out and cast their ballot.
FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron says the Indigenous vote can help ensure governments respect and honour Indigenous treaty rights and land title.
“We are calling all First Nations people across the country to get out to the polls safely and participate in today’s Federal Election. Our ancestors fought for our rights and we must all do our part to honour them and make sure the Canadian Government respects and honours our Inherent and Treaty Rights on our traditional lands” says FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron. “This Federal Election is a wake-up call for all of us to exercise our right to vote and show the world our people’s Inherent and Treaty Rights holders are the most powerful people in the world. Let’s all do this for our children of the future, the greatest assets we have.”
The FSIN also encourages every voter to stay safe and practice public safety protocols while voting.
