This week on APTN News InFocus, guest host Kathleen Martens looks at treaty rights and the Alberta separatist movement. Matthew Wildcat, an assistant professor and director of Indigenous governance in the Faculty of Native Studies at the University of Alberta, explains why treaty rights could block Alberta’s push to leave Canada. He unpacks the province’s Sovereignty Act, Bill 54 and what it means for First Nations. We also hear from Gina Starblanket, associate professor at the University of Victoria and a member of the Star Blanket Cree Nation. She weighs in on how separation challenges treaty law and what history can teach us. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.
