Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Good morning, everyone. Before we start, an eagle feather signifies truth and respect. When we speak here today, it will signify this. Also, I respect a lot of people coming here. In our culture, one of the biggest respects we have is the passing of tobacco. I guess I should remind you guys that we travelled a great way to come here and meet with you.

Indigenous and Northern Affairs committee  Chief Nelson Houle, Ebb and Flow First Nation, signatory of Treaty No. 2.
