That's how long an Indigenous woman says she is committed to going without food while living out of a makeshift camp in protest of poor housing conditions on First Nations in Canada. "She's been waiting for housing from the band, promised over and over that they would give her an adequate place to live." Kakikepinace's demands seem simple enough: she just wants a dry, habitable place to live, Peters said. Peters said Kakikepinace's case shows that housing issues on First Nations aren't limited to remote, northern communities. Peters said band officials have asked Kakikepinace to take down the camp and again promised to provide her with a home.
