First Nations hold ceremony with country's leaders

First Nations leaders are gathering with Prime Minister Mark Carney and the country's premiers in Ottawa today for a ceremony ahead of a historic meeting on Monday.
Monday's meeting will the first such gathering since the Kelowna Accord talks of 2005, which brought premiers and then-prime minister Paul Martin together with Indigenous leaders to discuss ways to close the socioeconomic gaps in their communities.
First Nations will be represented in the closed-door meeting on Monday largely by regional chiefs from the Assembly of First Nations.
The Privy Council Office has not said which premiers will be attending the meeting, although Quebec Premier Paul St-Pierre Plamondon and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith have both said they will be absent.
The ceremonies will be held in Ottawa with knowledge keepers, elders, First Nations leaders and community members.
National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak says it's important to start the meeting with ceremony to ensure all participants are entering with the right frame of mind, grounded in First Nations spirituality.

Elenore Sturko loses seat for CentreBC in return to Surrey South
NewsAlert CentreBC LeaderSturko loses seat
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ethan Cairns
The Canadian Press decision desk is projecting that CentreBC Leader Elenore Sturko has lost her bid to win back her former seat in Surrey South.
The former RCMP officer, who was defeated by B.C. Conservative Megan Knight, was previously elected to the riding in 2022 as a B.C. Liberal before joining the Conservatives in 2024 and winning in nearby Surrey-Cloverdale that year.
But Sturko was ejected from the Conservatives by former party leader John Rustad, who cited the need for caucus unity.
Sturko sat as an Independent before announcing in September that she was joining CentreBC, along with seven other Conservatives defectors.
All except Sturko went back to the Conservatives just days later, after Kerry-Lynn Findlay quit as leader and was replaced by interim leader Lorne Doerkson ahead of the provincial election.
Sturko stayed on and became leader of CentreBC, which she has described as socially progressive and fiscally responsible.

OneBC's Dallas Brodie loses Vancouver-Quilchena riding
OneBC's Dallas Brodie loses riding
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Ethan Cairns
The Canadian Press decision desk is projecting that OneBC interim leader Dallas Brodie has lost the riding of Vancouver-Quilchena.
She has been defeated by B.C. Conservative candidate Carson Binda, who is the former provincial director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
Brodie was first elected as a Conservative in Vancouver-Quilchena in 2024, but was ejected from the party's caucus the next year by former opposition leader John Rustad, who said she mocked former residential school students.
She then formed OneBC with legislator Tara Armstrong, who had quit the Conservatives in sympathy with Brodie.
OneBC briefly held official party status in the legislature but lost that when Brodie and Armstrong fell out, leaving Brodie as its sole legislator.
Brodie, who survived a recall petition this year, campaigned on opposing what she called "land back giveaways" and "the greed and corruption of the reconciliation industry."
