The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP) is calling for Prime Minister Trudeau to apologize for his actions in vacationing during the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.\u00a0 More importantly, CAP is highlighting this as an opportunity for the Prime Minister to take concrete action to resolve his government relationship with M\u00e9tis, status and non-status Indians, and Southern Inuit Indigenous People living off-reserve.<\/p>\n
\u201cCAP is calling on the Prime Minister to demonstrate remorse by engaging with and resolving the concerns of CAP\u2019s constituency \u2013 the over 70% of Indigenous people that live off-reserve,\u201d stated CAP National Chief Elmer St. Pierre. \u201cTrudeau has the opportunity to better the lives of our people, because actions speak louder than apologies.\u201d<\/p>\n
In September 2021, CAP filed UN legal action highlighting how the Trudeau government denies rights to CAP and its constituents.\u00a0 \u201cCAP was forced to take this action as Trudeau has failed to involve CAP\u2019s communities adequately, or at all, in consulting or negotiating about self-government, land claims, healthcare, education, infrastructure, natural resources, and more\u201d concluded National Chief Elmer St. Pierre.<\/p>\n
The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples is the national voice representing the interests of M\u00e9tis, status and non-status Indians, and Southern Inuit Indigenous People living off-reserve. Today, over 70% of Indigenous people live off-reserve.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP) is calling for Prime Minister Trudeau to apologize for his actions in vacationing during the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.\u00a0 More importantly, CAP is highlighting this as an opportunity for the Prime Minister to take concrete action to resolve his government relationship with M\u00e9tis, status and non-status Indians, …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-federal"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-21 23:16:57","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47862"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47862\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47863,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47862\/revisions\/47863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wawa-news.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
