First Nations chiefs meet to talk about 'crisis' on reserves

Leaders of First Nations are gathering in Quebec on Tuesday for a two-day summit to talk about the "crisis situation" facing aboriginal communities across Canada.

A draft agenda for the Assembly of First Nations policy forum in Gatineau says the leaders will discuss what the assembly calls "fiscal discrimination," aboriginal poverty, outstanding land claims, health issues and a national day of action slated for June 29.

The agenda also says discussion will include a statement by chiefs on the "crisis situation" First Nations face.
