First Nations communities in Manitoba, Canada, are expressing frustration with the lack of Government support following a state of emergency declaration in March 2023. The Keewatin Tribal Council, representing 11 communities, cited failures in public safety, health, and infrastructure as reasons for the declaration. Indigenous Services Canada provided $300,000 in April, but community leaders argue this is insufficient. Substance abuse is a major issue, with limited resources for treatment. Other problems include homelessness, inadequate housing, and lack of access to essential services. Community leaders are calling for more government programs and support to address these long-standing issues.
