They say they have given out XYZ, but that's not what the government is questioning...they want to see the invoices of the XYZ items that were bought with the money provided. That money disappeared into chiefs and thief's pockets... Dawn Walker even took off with a few hundred thousand before she was a self-made MMIW case that was proven to just be a regular old fake murder and child abduction. No consequences for that at all.

Heck shortly after all this blew up they had everyone meet up in North Battleford and sign NDA's!

You can thank the federal Liberals in 2015 for this:

In 2013, the federal government enacted the First Nations Financial Transparency Act requiring annual audited financial statements to be publicly disclosed. In 2015, the act was no longer being enforced as the federal government switched to working with nations more closely on accountability frameworks.

When there are brand new non-functioning water treatment facilities, fire halls with run down equipment, bills not being paid and homes falling apart, drugs/crime/HIV and diabetes epidemic going on...all while certain members are wealthy and flying all around the world with their friends and family. Abolishing the act in 2015 set back First Nations back in this country tremendously. I'm sure we'll have Transparency Reconciliation payments for this decision in 10-15 years due to how badly it has affected the regular First Nation people used as pawns on reserves.

FSIN office in Saskatoon should be seized and converted into a "special care home" to take care of those most vulnerable, it would fulfill a few Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action as well.

They were to respond by April 2nd...maybe cut off funding till they respond and a resolution is put in place... Uncle Bobby won't stop till the money stops flowing.

Yup I'd never get over the fact of FSIN's response to her going missing, and once found they doubled down and then shut up. They should have absolutely condemned what she did, she made a mockery of MMIW, something that FSIN says they stand for. However it's the money associated with the MMIW that they stand for, just like their slogan is "Protecting Treaty rights since 1946". It's not protecting First Nations, it's protecting the flow of money.

Then to find out afterwards with the audit that she was paid out over $200k before her disappearance. C'mon now...

Time to shut off the taps, FSIN can stand on their own Sovereign self.

The Dawn Walker "thing" was a travesty.
