What‘s at stake for Native populations in Canada‘s Bill C-45? Nation blogger Aura Bogado appears on RT News to explain the bill‘s environmental and social impact and the growing movement among indigenous peoples, Idle No More. "By making these sweeping changes in this bill," she says, “it really negates the responsibility of the federal government to negotiate with First Nations people.”
