REGINA – A Saskatchewan NDP candidate is urging Indigenous voters to make their voices heard in next week’s provincial election.
Election day is Oct. 28.
Betty Nippi-Albright, a Saulteaux and Cree woman seeking re-election in Saskatoon Centre, says Indigenous people have the power to put an end to the Saskatchewan Party’s 17-year run in government.
She says if the NDP wins, it would work with First Nations and Métis people on truth and reconciliation and restore a physical government presence in the province’s north.
She says it would also honour Treaty rights of all Indigenous people in Saskatchewan, apologize for the province’s role in the Timber Bay and Île-à-la-Crosse residential schools, and work with survivors to provide meaningful support.
Nippi-Albright says other plans include working with First Nations and Métis leaders on a recruitment and retention plan to get more Indigenous people working in health care.
“We cannot afford four more years of Scott Moe and the Sask. Party,” Nippi-Albright said in a news release Monday.
“For too long, our people have been ignored and divided by politicians like them. It’s time for change. This election, you can vote to make that happen.”
