First Nations in and around Williams Lake protested Dec. 21 to show support for chief Theresa Spence of Attawapiskat in Northern Ontario who is on the eleventh day of a hunger strike to protest Bill C-45.
Around 50 First Nations leaders and community members gathered outside city hall ,before making a peaceful procession through the city, to continue what Canoe Creek chief David Archie said the ancestors started when the first visitors arrived.

“Our ancestors have been dealing with this for a long time and now it’s our turn,” Archie said.
