Second, they didn’t realize that she came to government with an Indigenous agenda that superseded party politics. By nation I am not referring to Canada but to our nations — Cree, Anishinaabe, Saksika, Nakota and so on. When our people enter the ring of partisan politics, it is usually because they have an agenda and want to make change. To Wilson-Raybould the legal relations between Canada and the First Nations include the constitution, the Crown, the treaties and so on. These are the bedrock legal instruments that define our relationship and don’t need to be policy. Other of our politicians have switched parties and put their people first.

When John Diefenbaker extended the voting franchise and appointed James Gladstone from Alberta to the Senate, his stock in Indian Country soared. This is who I am and who I will always be.” I think that defines our relationship with partisan politics.
