A good day uh today is a very important day when it comes to our indigenous rights and our laws the Supreme Court of Canada has now affirmed that we do have the right to protect our children and that bill c92 and the entire Act is constitutional they were attempting to
Say that parts of the bill c92 were unconstitutional but the Supreme Court of Canada has now upheld that the entirety of the ACT is constitutional and this also means that we will be able to protect our children through our own rights through our own laws and also our laws
Will will Paramount provincial laws well we already have our our FS family framework act which is a declaration of our principal and are in treat and inherent rights based positions um so we already have that in place now the the the Nations that fall underneath the
Umbrella of that act it’s them it’s up to them now to do that work but they need the resources to be able to do that work a lot of the first nations are taking their time because what they’re doing is they’re revitalizing their natural laws right they’re this this is
Not something you just uh develop overnight yeah and it’s it’s a process that could take anywhere from 5 to 10 years to be fully functional so 58 to 59 out of the 74 perations in Saskatchewan are involved in that process right now well that the provincial governments were not going to take it
Lightly that they took it as a a shot at their jurisdiction over our first nation children their way has failed for several decades from the residential school system to the 60 scoop to even now in the current child welfare system their way has failed at the height of the residential
School system the residential school era currently in the year 2024 we have more children in their care than we ever did during a residential school system so it gives you an idea of the scope the task that we have to undertake together in unity together in prayer and ceremony I
Heard an old man say many many years ago many years ago our children are looking out the window waiting for us to bring them home let’s bring them home what we really need is the province to cooperate and work with us and get out of our way
Like they have failed and I want to say that this is an important settlement because it shows the failure of the provincial and territorial child welfare system they want to operate business as usual and we want to we we want to dismantle that system and create our own
System which is going to serve our families and our children far better than there’s ever will so
Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) Third Vice Chief Aly Bear announced the result of a historic Supreme Court of Canada ruling on Friday, giving Saskatchewan First Nations the right to administer child and family services – a right that supersedes the authority of the provincial government. She was joined by Chief Bobby Cameron and Second Vice Chief David Pratt.
Pratt said that the FSIN established a family framework act of principals and inherent rights but it is up to the nations that fall under the umbrella to set up their family service systems. FSIN child welfare director Karen Pelletier added, “Creating a system is not something you just set up overnight as many nations are revitalizing their natural laws and it’s a process that could take years.”
FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron said, “Currently in the year 2024, more children are in the child and family services system than in residential schools during the height of the residential school system era.” Pratt said, “This is an important settlement because it shows the failure of the provincial and territorial welfare systems, and we want to dismantle that system so we can create our own system that will serve our families far better than theirs ever will.”

It's about time this country has been selfish to all individuals. People and keep on taking taking taking
The province should have never interfered to begin with. Congratulations on getting what is deserved ?
I just find it very weird that the first nations people were not trusted to take care of their own kids. They would love them more than any bureaucrat in Ottawa.
C'mon the headgear, really….
Any financial and results accountability in the process?
I think your head dress is a little much
Be careful what you wish for. Now they are responsible for their children. We will see how that goes.
I’m crying. I’m so glad.
Lets see what happens now, no ownership, no responsibility, free money, free rides on the bus, free everything
Come to Regina and see how indigenous people behave on the streets.
You'll take taxpayers dollars though, so much for being "independant".
As a vegan it pains me to think about all the turkeys that had to die to make those hats.
That should include the resources and self government nation to nation. The welfare system needs to withdraw from the First Nations.
Why are they celebrating getting the white mans permissions etc and they’re speaking English and using all the white mans inventions etc ?
With rights come responsibilities. When will you be responsible!
My lnuit neighbor was taken he told me very bad things he is in his 60s now they should compensate them every last one while they still here native peoples have the best headwear in the world unmatched gold diamonds can't compare to these feathers they wear
well, now you can try to not fail them…but you need aid from the govt? One big joke
Why are we not separating these nations from Canada?
????
Great news, now I hope this sets a precedent for all even the white man's children have been wronged under the governments "schools" indoctrination…
Ohh no The liberals are not going to like that….
Lets see how well this works out.
?????
Dualism is racist.
???I thought this was a Saturday Night Live skit for the first few moments lol???
A nation further divided against itself.
These communities had very dark secrets before this "historic ruling".
Social cohesion is vital to all nations.
Canada is be torn asunder on purpose for some reason.
I'm sure substance abuse & violence have nothing at all to do with Native children being taken from their parents.
You've done a great job presenting this.
So " indigenous " people have control over their own children but , other Canadians do not .
At last !!! Blessings . ??
More special rules for special people?.
In other words the money passes through their hands ??
These people came from Europe and Asia, just like the rest of us. So they got here first, so what? They came over and exterminated the camels and lions that used to roam the plains of the Americas. They also wiped out many other animals and plant life.
Will they ever stop crying about their plight??
How much money equals an apology?
Ridiculous.
The second they realize this means actually taking responsibility and paying for them, they will defer them back to Child Protective Services.
Today People of First Nation in Canada = Palestinians in Palestine = no food, no water, no future for children, no good education, total control…= death
Recipe for disaster.
How do they expect to pay for this ? Protect your children like the way you protected those women missing and murdered or the 6 year old boy beaten to death by his parents in Port Alberni after he was returned to them . Half the children in care are aboriginal and they are there for a reason .
It’s good they agreed to start taking care of their children, If we could only get them to hold themselves accountable ?
I know of many kids that HAD to be moved to foster homes because of conditions at home on Sask reserves..How will this benefit those kids?
The more feathers the more visible the minority.
Remember Phoenix Sinclair ?
They’re only doing it for more money
Black Lives Matter MORE! Get in line
You guys couldn’t wait till march to get whitey’s attention? This is black
History month
The natives indigenous peoples have the right to defend themselves
Complain complain complain complain complain complain complained complain complain
Somewhere in the world, there is a group of Vikings saying the same thing with traditional headwear. This is all part of the indigenous nonsense that the UN has introduced focussing on dividing people along race/cultural lines, not individual needs which you would think this far down the track now would be common sense. Trudeau is following lockstep with the UN guidelines.
