Guillaume Picard's criticism on Spense's stance
Although a number of First Nations chiefs have put pressure on her to end her crusade, Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence continues with her month-long hunger strike, subsisting on fish broth and tea. Although a number of First Nations chiefs have put pressure on her to end her crusade, Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence continues with her month-long hunger strike, subsisting on fish broth and tea. Spence says she'll continue the protest until she gets a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Gov. Gen. David Johnston to discuss "treaty issues." Although the Idle No More movement has mostly lent its support to chief Spence, some First Nations people are critical of her stance. Guillaume Picard is one of them.He's a Montreal-based writer, teacher and a member of the Huron-Wendat nation. He spoke to our Eastern Townships reporter Sarah Rogers yesterday. Sarah asked him about his comment that Chief Spence has brought shame to Aboriginal people.
