The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) is calling on Craven Country Thunder to banish comic duo Williams and Ree.

The duo has MCed events for over 20 years at the festival.

This comes after the duo made a statement on stage this weekend, referring to Indigenous people in a derogatory way.

In a press release, the FSIN called the comment, “an embarrassment to Country Thunder, the entertainers and First Nations people.”
