He said the Confederacy has had to bring in additional people to keep up with the calls and inquiries they’ve been receiving.“There’s a lot of uncertainty at this point in time, but we’ve been able to work with the national organizations to try to create websites and contact people. And in fact, Maskwacis created their own site so that people can get on it and contact someone… Lac Ste. Anne has done the same thing,” he said.
