Support for Attawapiskat


First Nations chiefs in B.C. are rallying behind the troubled northern Ontario reserve of Attawapiskat.

The Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs is urging band councils across the country to raise funds for humanitarian assistance on the reserve.

The Harper government took control of public funds away from Attawapiskat last week over concerns about health, safety and financial mismanagement.
