Authentic voyageurs stop by Quebec AM

Ottawa under fire for fighting Aboriginal claims

Former UN special rapporteur James Anaya called attention the Canadian government's "adversarial approach" when it comes to Aboriginal and Treaty rights back in 2013.

He joins our host Shawn Lyons to talk about what steps he has taken so far, and why he is taking his concerns to the Auditor General. Listen here.
