Groups want unconditional support of UN Declaration
A call has been raised for Prime Minister Stephen Harper to unconditionally endorse the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Ellen Gabriel, president of Quebec Native Women Inc., expressed concerns about the federal government’s announcement.
