Dear Editor:

Where is the support from our chiefs when it comes to federal tax exemption?

How did it happen that Assembly of First Nations’ employees are tax exempt and the rest of us who work off reserve are still being bullied and harassed by Revenue Canada to pay income tax?

How is it they can legally withhold the child tax credit from households they deem are in arrears of federal taxes and penalize children?

It becomes quite apparent that the issue of taxing First Nations peoples needs to be on the chiefs’ election platform, or have them move over for someone who is not afraid of not getting their own federal handout!
