Understanding the legalities of First Nations struggles in Canada, present and past.

This is 35 minutes long, but Russell Diabo (publisher of the First Nations Strategic Bulletin) provides an informative and important discussion about the complexities of the issues surrounding the Indian Act, the Harper Government’s termination agenda, the #IdleNoMore movement, Chief Spence’s hunger strike, and Bill C-45.  This comes courtesy ThePerfectPlex’s YouTube channel.
