Federal Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino says he had a heavy and difficult visit with families of those killed in a mass stabbing in Saskatchewan before he signed an agreement to explore new ways to improve safety on some First Nations in the province.
"It is a cornerstone of reconciliation that policing for Indigenous people by Indigenous people is at the very heart of the work that we are doing today," Mendicino said Monday at the Prince Albert Grand Council annual assembly.
"It's going to take hope, but it's also going to take hard work if we're going to break the cycle," he said. Mendicino said the intent is to put in place building blocks to create self-administered police programs on First Nations.He hopes it will be five to 10 years in the making. It should be up to communities, with the support of governments, to choose the pace moving forward, he said.Large changes happen in small steps, said Christine Tell, Saskatchewan's public safety minister.
There are 35 First Nations police services across the country, and one is in Saskatchewan. The File Hills Police Service serves five First Nations communities in eastern Saskatchewan.
