Crown-First Nations Gathering, January 24, 2012
On January 24, 2012, over 800 First Nation Chiefs, youth and Elders assembled in Ottawa, Ontario for the Crown-First Nation Gathering. The Crown-First Nation Gathering was an important opportunity for First Nations to engage directly with our historic partner, the Crown, as represented by Governor General David Johnston, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a number of key federal Cabinet ministers and senior officials. Hundreds more First Nation leaders participated in the Gathering through 10 videoconferencing sites, and many more watched the live webcast and live television coverage. It was a truly momentous occasion, a chance for all Canadians to see our people, hear our words and better understand our plans to move forward.
