Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak is the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations .

She says the federal child welfare system has systematically discriminated against First Nations children and families.

In 2019 alone, more than 45,000 First Nations kids were in care, accounting for more than 15 per cent of all children in the system.

This draft agreement is designed by First Nations for First Nations , she says.
