Canada's premiers are starting their summer gathering at a Victoria-area First Nation where they'll meet with leaders of the National Indigenous Organizations, a collection of five national Indigenous groups.

The national organization representing Inuit has developed a plan with Mounties to help improve their relationship.

The leader of the national organization representing Inuit people says it will not be a celebratory occasion when he meets with Pope Francis at the Vatican next week as part of an Indigenous delegation.

Indigenous leaders will visit the Vatican later this year to press for a papal apology for the Catholic Church's role in residential schools.

More than five years after the Truth and Reconciliation Commission called on the federal government to revise the Canadian citizenship oath and exam guide, newcomers still study a book that contains a single paragraph on residential schools and they take an oath that doesn't refer to treaties with Indigenous Peoples.

A group of Metis citizens from Western Canada was left waiting in the cold as they sought approval from federal bureaucrats to enter an Ottawa building meant to be a space for Indigenous Peoples.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau injected a dose of electoral politics into an announcement on Thursday, August 1, 2019, in Canada's Far North, taking aim at his Conservative rival while unveiling details on two marine protected areas.

An Algonquin grand chief's hunger strike is over after an agreement with the federal government on a project to create a major Indigenous centre in Ottawa.

The federal Liberal government is turning its face to the North with changes in a major ministry and at the Canadian Coast Guard.

Canada's premiers emerged from meetings with Indigenous organizations on Wednesday, July 18, 2018, with little in the way of concrete initiatives after several major Aboriginal groups refused to participate in the gathering for the second year in a row.

The Inuit people have been treated as bystanders or test subjects since the moment Western scientists first began studying the Arctic, and the time has come for the northern Indigenous community to have a greater say in the science that takes place in their homeland, the head of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami said on Thursday, March 22, 2018.

Natan Obed, the president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, said “Inuit were not consulted in the creation of the 10 principles,” while Assembly of First Nations national chief Perry Bellegarde said "we weren’t involved in developing a draft of that."

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Alberta Premier Rachel Notley are the latest prominent voices to urge a public discussion about renaming the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos out of respect for Inuit people.

Edmonton's mayor says he wants the city's Canadian Football League team to start taking steps towards a name change.

The Liberal government has been fielding a lot of complaints about controversial proposed tax reforms — and now the premiers are taking a turn as they gather in Ottawa to meet Justin Trudeau.
