The winter session of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) voted Tuesday on three measures to improve conditions for Indigenous children:
- The FSIN prepare for a potential upcoming court case with the Saskatchewan government about the treatment of Indigenous children in foster care. The potential court case would come if the federal government does not table a proposed bill regarding Indigenous child welfare before the House of Commons rises for the summer, FSIN Second Vice Chief Dave Pratt said.
- ask the United Nations to be an intervener in that potential court case, which would allow the UN, in some form, to presumably support the FSIN against the federal government.
- ask the federal government for a mandatory audit of all Indigenous children in foster care across the country. The original resolution limited the audit to Saskatchewan, but was amended.
