The mayor of Port Alberni, B.C., says the RCMP are investigating after a video showing a group of people whooping and yelling racial slurs as they drive through the Tseshaht First Nation late Monday night was shared on social media. "I thought right away, 'oh no' seeing this kind of thing happening in our community. Judith Sayers, president of the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Counci located in Port Albernil, said the video left her "totally disgusted and dismayed." As part of its reconcilation plans, the City of Port Alberni named a new street in 2019 in honour of the Indigenous village that used to sit in the same place. (City of Port Alberni)Sayers said she would like RCMP to find out who did it and that there may be possible charges in future.
