The federal government is giving the remainder of the $34-million promised to Indigenous communities in the 2019 budget to implement recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission having to do with burial information and missing children.

Ottawa says the hand out of more than $27-million was delayed by consultations and government red tape. As David Akin reports, the feds appear to be ready to supply more money if these funds aren't enough.

And even though residential schools have been abolished, Indigenous children are over represented within Canada's foster care system.

As Neetu Garcha explains, that's one of the reasons Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc Tribal Chief Wayne Christian is calling for the abolishment of the Indian Act.
