Attawapiskat Chief Will End Hunger Strike

A spokesman for Theresa Spence says the Attawapiskat chief has agreed to end her hunger protest.
Spence has been subsisting only on fish broth and medicinal tea since Dec. 11 to push for a meeting between First Nations leaders, the Prime Minister and the Governor General.
A coalition of Liberal and NDP politicians and First Nations chiefs have signed on to a declaration spelling out 13 specific demands for continuing negotiations between First Nations and the federal government.
The declaration calls for improvements to housing and schools on reserves, as well as an immediate meeting between the Governor General, the federal and provincial governments and all First Nations.
It also says historic treaties that originally defined the relationship between many First Nations and Ottawa should be modernized and fully implemented within five years
