Indigenous groups call on Carney to rein in Alberta Premier over separation comments

First Nations in Alberta are demanding Premier Danielle Smith stop stoking talk of separation from Canada, saying it’s a breach of their treaty right, and they have asked newly-elected Prime Minister Mark Carney to “get the province of Alberta in line.”The Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation and Mikisew First Nation posted on their social media a letter addressed to Ms. Smith dated April 30, calling her statements and actions irresponsible and breaches of Treaties 6, 7, and 8 between Alberta and the Cree and First Nations across the province.
