The FSIN says police failed to follow up on complaints that an evicted farmer had an exposed gun in his vehicle on Ochapowace First Nation
Indigenous leaders are criticizing the RCMP’s response to reports of trespassing on First Nations land, saying police failed to follow up on complaints that an evicted farmer had an exposed gun in his vehicle.
“Our lands manager and our pasture manager approached the former tenant and informed them that they were trespassing on two occasions prior to this incident. This time, they stopped the farmer on the land and as they approached the vehicle, they saw the gun and fled, concerned for their own safety,” Ochapowace Chief Margaret Bear said in the release.“They come on our land and take whatever they want, and the police won’t do anything about it,” she said.
