Prime Minister/ First Nations singing from different songbooks | Windspeaker - AMMSA: Aboriginal news, information and culture.: To help re-set the relationship between the Crown and First Nations people within Canada, leaders of the Anishinabek Nation offered up a symbolic gesture. Just before the opening ceremonies of the Crown First Nations Gathering on Jan. 24, a wampum belt was set on the stage, backwards, then righted immediately following the smudging, prayers and gift exchange.
Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Patrick Madahbee said they had brought the Treaty of Niagara belt, which sets out the nation-to-nation relationship Anishinabek has with the Crown, in backwards to signify “there’s unfinished business and there’s problems in the relationship.”
