For the first time in Saskatchewan history First Nations Chiefs from across the Province, Premier Brad Wall, Saskatchewan Cabinet Ministers and Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) will gather this afternoon in the Provincial Legislature to share in a traditional celebratory feast.
The gathering is a way for MLAs to meet with the Chiefs and to signal that the new Provincial Government intends to build a strong, long-term relationship with First Nations people and their leaders based on mutual respect and understanding.
"First Nations people are such an important element of the past and future development of this Province that I thought it important that we all meet in the spirit of the season to demonstrate our belief in a shared future and to share in First Nations traditions," Wall said.
The Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations Chief Lawrence Joseph was very honoured that the government had extended the invitation to First Nations Chiefs.
"The ‘breaking of bread' in this celebration and feast is symbolic of what I see as the beginning of a long-lasting relationship based on mutual co-operation and respect," Chief Joseph said. "The feast acknowledges First Nations traditions as well as non-First Nations traditions and is a good way to mark our new beginning."
The event, which takes place in the Provincial Legislature, was initiated by First Nations and Métis Relations Minister June Draude.
"I am so pleased we are able to get together in this fashion," Draude said. "For the first time in our collective history, we have a wonderful opportunity to meet many of the First Nations Chiefs during this special festive season. To me, it represents the start of a joint effort to move forward together on the important issues that are facing First Nations people and non-First Nations people across the Province."
