Prince Philip made more than 70 visits or stopovers in Canada between 1950 and 2013, many of which included meetings and events with First Nations leaders and people. In a prepared speech before the Queen, Erasmus voiced his frustration that the federal government hadn't honoured treaties signed by the monarchy nearly a century ago. Jeannie says the Arctic char that Prince Philip received from her father possibly came from this fishing trip to Dulhut. For example, on a 2002 visit to Australia with the Queen, Philip infamously asked a group of Aboriginal people if "you still throw spears at each other." "In almost a century of life, Prince Philip has given so much to public service and was a lifelong champion of many worthy causes, especially youth fitness and volunteerism," he said.
