National First Nations Chief seeks to reconcile with Conservative Leader.

The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations, Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak, is attempting to build a relationship with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to avoid the tensions that marked the party's time in power. The legacy of the Idle No More movement has shaped the views of young Indigenous activists and leaders towards the Conservatives, with a lingering negative image from nearly a decade ago. Woodhouse Nepinak expresses optimism about Poilievre's willingness to work with First Nations, and has urged him to vote against Bill C-53, which seeks to recognize Métis governments in Ontario, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
