About 50 people from the Shibogama First Nations Council communities of Kasabonika, Kingfisher Lake, Wapekeka, Wawakapewin, and Wunnumin left for Ottawa today to show their support for Chief Theresa Spence.
This evening, they will hold a prayer for Spence and those who have joined her.
Majority of them will remain in Ottawa until Tuesday.
On the larger scale, the Attawapiskat First Nation Chief says she’s overjoyed that Prime Minister Steven Harper will meet with a delegation of First Nation Chiefs, but she says she will continue her hunger strike until that meeting happens.
Harper and Aboriginal Affairs Minister John Duncan will meet with a delegation of First Nation leaders this Friday, where they will discuss aboriginal and treaty issues and economic development.
