RelatedNDP legislature member Amanda Lathlin said Pallister’s comments are ignorant and feed into a dangerous stereotype of indigenous people. Sustainable Development Minister Cathy Cox met earlier this week with reeves from several communities in western Manitoba who are pushing for a ban on indigenous night hunting. Non-indigenous hunters are banned from hunting at night. Indigenous hunters are allowed — supported by a Supreme Court of Canada ruling — subject to safety restrictions. Lathlin said hunting has a long-standing and revered place in indigenous culture, as does sharing the proceeds with the community.
