Chief Scott McLeod says new Idle No More may not be far away

On this episode of Face to Face: Scott McLeod The opposition was loud when the Canadian government announced Bill C-5 and Ontario announced Bill 5. Both legislations were sold as a way to reduce red tape and streamline processes to get shovels in the ground for major resource extraction and infrastructure projects. However, many First Nations leaders feel the legislation weakens environmental protections, infringes on First Nations' rights and gives unprecedented decision-making powers to politicians. Scott McLeod, the Lake Huron regional chief for the Anishinabek Nation, has been a vocal critic of the legislation from the onset. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.

Garrison Settee says feds have to be better at handling crisis

Nearly 33,000 people were forced from their homes in Manitoba due to wildfires in the spring and summer of 2025; the majority of them were from northern First Nations. The risk to life, property and the land is increasing as wildfires become more frequent in the province, but that hasn't translated into better planning and coordination for evacuations, says Garrison Settee. • • • APTN National News, our stories told our way.

On this episode of Face to Face: Alanis Obomsawin Meeting Alanis Obomsawin in the theatre that bears her name at the National Film Board's head office felt both natural and fitting, especially since she still makes a point of coming into the office a few days a week. Over the years, she has credited work for keeping her young. However, sitting down here with APTN News, Obomsawin added that children are what keeps her going. Before being a documentary filmmaker, Obomsawin sang. This brought her into classrooms around the country.
