National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak , Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami President Natan Obed and Métis National Council President Victoria Pruden made that pitch during a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday morning .

Obed called the idea that provinces, territories and the federal government are the sum total of governance in this country is just an outdated and wrong-headed approach.

Those same leaders were barred from meeting with premiers that happened just after, which Obed calls a “regressive imagination” of what makes up Canadian governance.

The Métis National Council says tariffs and retaliatory measures will negatively affect Indigenous economies and supply chain.

Obed said he raised with Trudeau the impact potential tariffs from both the U.S. and Canada would have on Inuit territories.

“We worry that those who are already at risk would have almost no way of dealing with the added repercussions.”.
