Are Old Loyalties Costing First Nations a Better Deal?

In this thought-provoking episode of The Way To Native Chronicles, the host is joined by his wife, Nikeeya — a status First Nations woman — to examine how deep-rooted political loyalties may be preventing Indigenous communities from exploring new opportunities, especially as Alberta separatism gains traction.

Nikeeya brings a powerful and culturally grounded perspective, sharing key points in her native Dene language (with English translation), and criticizes the failure to engage in dialogue as a dismal failure to further Indigenous interests.

This video asks an important question: Are old alliances standing in the way of better deals?
