Westbank First Nation chief supports Shawn Atleo

The Assembly of First Nations could be in trouble.

There's dissension among the assembly chiefs, growing discontent with First Nation leaders at the grassroots level while some leaders try to win concessions from Ottawa.

Against this backdrop, AFN leader Shawn Atleo says he needs a medical break
and is taking time off. His condition and length of his absence isn't known, but Westbank First Nation Chief  Robert Louie stands firmly behind him.

He explains why to Daybreak guest host, Rebecca Zandbergen.
