This is your APTN News Brief for Friday, October 30th.

The Acacho Territory Government is hosting their annual General Assembly in Dayta this week discussing shared priorities and the ongoing land claim negotiations.

But one issue dominated the table, the state of child and family services in the Northwest Territories.

As far as I'm concerned, we're doing it.

The assembly wraps up on October 29th with member-only updates on the Acacho land claim negotiation process.

Thursday was the second day of hearings at the Federal Court of Appeals in Winnipeg, with the Canadian federal government trying to appeal the National First Nations Housing Class Action lawsuit backed by over 100 First Nations.

A lot of artifacts, right? So that is November 7th.

This is

your APTN News Brief for Tuesday, October 27.

It was a historic day in Ottawa on Monday as First Nations leaders met with both Prime Minister Mark Carney and provincial and territorial premiers for the first time as a standalone meeting.

APTN's Fraser Needham has that story.

Things actually got underway on Sunday with a ceremonial gathering a short distance from Parliament Hill where offerings of tobacco were made.

Then back again early Monday morning for the beginning of formal meetings addressing the Prime Minister, Premiers and Assembled Chiefs.

The votes have been counted and the BC Conservative Party were declared the winners after a snap election was called by NDP Premier David Eby.

For many Indigenous peoples in the province, the uncertainty of this new leadership is raising concerns about Indigenous rights and title.

Those guys are pretty cool.

I think they're on their sixth season at APTN.

So check out their ghost hunting show.

Very cool.

On this episode, the Alberta referendum.

76% of Albertans say they want to remain in Canada, while 24% say they would rather separate.

Danielle Paradis is a Red River Métis journalist in Alberta and the co-host and producer of the Separation Anxiety podcast.

This episode was produced by Mark Blackburn and edited by Jesse Andruszko.

Charmaine Straker is the executive producer of APTN News In Focus.

We want to know if you're enjoying the show.

We didn't want them to have this four-year or multiple-year blank spot in their CV where they're not working anything when they were working on this.

So the film ended up airing on APTN, and it still exists within the National Film Board, although you have to get permission from their Indigenous Advisory Council to screen it.

And that was the process.

I want to come back to the impact of that.
