OTTAWA - Amidst weeks of protests across the country, First Nations leaders plan to hold a mass meeting at the end of January and Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Gov. Gen. David Johnston are invited.
The meeting, planned for Jan. 24, will fall on the anniversary of the Crown-First Nation gathering last year in Ottawa.
In January 2012, aboriginal leaders met with Harper and agreed to focus priorities on education and economic development.
