Sask. First Nations say Indigenous Cabinet Representation ‘Historic’

Justin Trudeau’s cabinet was announced during the swearing in ceremony in Ottawa and it was revealed to be a very diverse cabinet. Half of them are women and two ministers are indigenous.

Hunter Tootoo is the new minister of fisheries, oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard. An Inuit leader who’s no rookie, he’s been in the legislative assembly for 14 years. Another key aboriginal player is Jody Wilson-Raybould. She’s the new minister of justice and attorney general of Canada. Formerly a regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations, Wilson-Raybould is no stranger to aboriginal issues.

“This is precedent setting. We have a woman, First Nation, and a very able politician in her own right coming to the table,” said political analyst Greg Poelzer.
