        First Person

        I'm working toward a brighter future for my First Nation community — and I need Canadians to join me

        Sept. 30, 2021, marks the first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. It is the beginning of a very long road that I ultimately hope will lead to a meaningful bridge between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada, writes Chief Willie Sellars.

        Opinion

        High-speed internet's arrival in our community shows how connectivity is essential to First Nations' success

        I grew up with our community being under constant boil water advisories, and I wasn’t able to safely drink water out of the tap until just a few years ago. High-speed internet feels equally life changing, writes Williams Lake First Nation Chief Willie Sellars.
