Treaty Three Raises concerns about Ottawa Summit

Grand Council Treaty #3 says it has some reservations about this weeks summit between aboriginal leaders and the federal government.

Grand Chief Diane Kelly was in attendance, and says while she was encouraged by the prime minister's day long participation, she was less enthused by some of the comments by the Assembly of First Nations.

She says Treaty Three has distinct traditions and customs and a tradtional government that has existed longer than Canada.

She's worried that the Joint Action Plan between the Assembly of First Nations and the Government of Canada could jeopardize that.
