An Alberta First Nations leader says ongoing concerns about coerced sterilization of Indigenous women is nothing short of a 'crisis' and he wants to see a public inquiry into the allegations.
Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam speaks during a news conference Wednesday March 20, 2013 in Ottawa. OTTAWA -- Ongoing concerns about coerced sterilization of Indigenous women is nothing short of a "crisis" that warrants a public inquiry, says a prominent Alberta First Nations leader.
"He took a stand in a supportive manner and I trust he will use his role as a leader in the most effective, proactive manner that would ensure coerced sterilization of Indigenous women is not permitted to continue," she said. "I think he's a good example." "Mr. Trudeau has to come out and do what's right because this has been going on too long and somebody has to correct the problem," Adam said. "It is a violation of human rights."
