Coerced-sterilization allegations a ‘crisis’ that demands public inquiry: chief
OTTAWA — Ongoing concerns about coerced sterilization of Indigenous women is nothing short of a “crisis” that warrants a public inquiry, says a prominent Alberta First Nations leader.
In an interview, Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam said concerns were brought directly to his attention by a member of his community north of Fort McMurray.
He fears others could have been affected, maybe without their knowledge.
