Aboriginals across Northwestern Ontario are speaking out against the recent federal government's omnibus budget bill.

Protesters say First Nations lands and treaty rights are being infringed by Bill C-45.

Rallies were held Monday outside Kenora MP Greg Rickford's offices in Kenora and Dryden.

Onigaming Chief Norman Copenance says its time chiefs come together to stand up for their self governance.
