Some Help for Northern First Nation

Leaders of a Northern Ontario First Nation community say a short-term fix for its immediate problems is at hand, but a long-term solution is still needed.
Regional Grand Chief Stan Louttit says Ottawa is providing funding to fix unlivable homes in Attawapiskat.
He says five families living in tents should be able to move before Christmas, but chronic overcrowding, poor construction and poverty must still be dealt with in a meaningful way.
