Six Nations Councillors won’t celebrate Canada Day and hope to distribute something orange to every house on Six Nations to remind people of all of the unmarked children’s graves.
Six Nations Elected Council (SNEC) elected Chief Mark Hill brought the issue to the Political Liaison meeting on June 28. He asked councillors what they thought about celebrating Canada Day, in the wake of finding more than 1,300 unmarked graves in Western Canada in the last month.
