Piikani Nation Chief statement regarding the Potential for Alberta Separation For Immediate Release May 1, 2025 The following can be attributed in whole or in part to Troy Knowlton, Chief of the Piikani Nation "There is no question that the results of the recent federal election have exacerbated pre- existing regional tensions in Canada. It is understandable that many people in the west are frustrated that their rejection of the Liberal Party was not mirrored in other parts of Canada. That frustration has led to several initiatives seemingly designed to give Albertans a path to renegotiation of confederation or indeed separation. There is talk of a "what's next" panel to discuss alternatives to the federal status quo. Premier Smith and her government introduced Bill 54, lowering the threshold for signatures required to place a separation question on a ballot. Some organizers are claiming that they are already gathering signatures at a rate that could reach that threshold./ It is at this point that First Nations in Alberta, representing Treaties 6, 7 and 8, must remind Albertans and their leaders that the aforementioned Treaties predate Alberta. Those are Treaties with the Crown, and Alberta lacks the authority to interfere with or negate those Treaties. Proceeding down a path towards separation cannot be undertaken without the consent of Alberta's First Nations. We are here, we will aggressively protect our historic Treaty rights and our inherent rights, and we will require that the Crown's obligations to First Nations be honoured and fulfilled." Troy (Bossman) Knowlton, Chief Piikani Nation

This isn't just a pipeline. It's more dirty energy and stolen Indigenous land.

"Canada can approve all the MOUs [...] that they want, but chiefs are united when it comes to approving large national projects." -Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak at the Assembly of First Nations

The most dangerous people are the ones untouched by trauma who think they understand it. The ones who say "just move on" because they've never had to crawl out of their own mind. The ones who confuse survival with drama because they've never been gutted by betrayal, violence, or silence. It's not that they don't get it. It's that they don't want to.

Bill S-2 amendments to eliminate second-generation cutoff hurdle The Senate has passed Bill S-2 amendments to eliminate second-generation cutoff. Chiefs to vote on amendments at AFN assembly tomorrow.

Dozens of First Nations leaders, lawyers, and advocates have called on the Senate to amend Bill S-2, urging them to end blood quantum rules that strip legal status from First Nations people after two successive generations marry non-status individuals.

That discussion and more on Nation to Nation.

If you or someone in your family is a Non-Status Indian, that could soon change. A bill before the Senate may restore status to 5,000 people. But witnesses say that’s not enough.

They’re pushing senators to end the second-generation cutoff for good.
