By Shari Narine, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Chiefs across Canada have put their support behind an emergency resolution at the Assembly of First Nations that condemns legislation in Saskatchewan and Alberta that infringes upon the rights of First Nations people.   In an address to the Special Chiefs Assembly in Ottawa Dec. 8, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told them they do not stand alone.
