On this edition of APTN News InFocus, Cierra Bettens looks back at Alberta's referendum on separation from Canada and what the results mean for First Nations in the province.
APTN News video journalist Charlotte Morritt-Jacobs joins the show to share what she heard from voters on the ground, the efforts by First Nations to mobilize voters and concerns over ballot shortages at some polling stations. Red River Métis journalist Danielle Paradis, co-host and producer of the podcast Separation Anxiety: The Alberta Referendum, returns to discuss the referendum results, what they reveal about Albertans' understanding of treaty rights and Indigenous sovereignty, and what comes next for Alberta politics and its relationship with First Nations.
