FSIN donates wild meat to food bank
After a donation of bison meat this early winter, the food bank is getting yet another donation of traditional wild meat.
Nearly 200 pounds of elk, moose and boar were donated by the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) today, Dec. 12. The meat was harvested across Saskatchewan by various First Nations communities, according to Chief Bobby Cameron.
“For us at the FSIN, it was implementing and exercising our inherent and treaty right to hunt where our treaty members would benefit,” Cameron said. “It’s supporting and doing anything we can to make life a little easier for our urban membership.”
Cameron said he understands the issues which some urban residents face. There were times growing up in North Battleford where he himself had nothing to eat.
