CBC News is examining the state of that relationship in Sudbury and northeastern Ontario — and you are invited to be part of the conversation.
Craig Jackson
We continue our series Aboriginality by introducing you to Craig Jackson. He is a member of the Wikwemikong First Nation. On this Remembrance Day, it's appropriate to point out that he was once a soldier, a US Marine, but that's just part of his identity.
Friendship Centres
In this edition of our series Aboriginality, a look at Native friendship centres. They're doing much more than they ever have serving an expanding off-reserve population but they aren't getting much more money to do it.
