原住民大会全国酋长表示，周一举行的具有历史意义的原住民-省长与总理会议，是重新定义原住民、省长与总理之间关系的机会，尽管此次会议将在怀疑的阴影下举行。
The Assembly of First Nations national chief says Monday's historic First Nations-First Ministers' Meeting is a chance to redefine the relationship between First Nations, premiers and the prime minister, even though it will take place under a cloud of skepticism.
并非全部13位省长都将出席在渥太华举行的为期一天的政治会议。预计阿尔伯塔省、不列颠哥伦比亚省和魁北克省的省长将缺席。
Not all 13 premiers are attending the one-day political conference in Ottawa. Premiers from Alberta, British Columbia and Quebec are expected to be absent.
一些原住民酋长表示，他们担心枢密院办公室如何组织这次闭门会议，该会议不会向其社区成员进行直播。
Some First Nations chiefs say they're concerned about how the Privy Council Office is organizing the closed-door meeting, which won't be livestreamed to their community members.
“我怀疑它是否能达到我们的期望，”尼希纳比阿斯基民族大酋长阿尔文·菲德勒说。
"I'm doubtful that it will meet our expectations," said Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler.
“在我看来，加拿大才是推动议程的一方。”但由于这是自120年前高层会议开始以来，首次专门针对原住民及其优先事项的省长与总理会议，人们也抱有希望，即使与会领导人只有几个小时在一起，也能取得切实进展。
"It seems to me that Canada is the one that's driving the agenda." But with this being the first-ever first ministers' meeting dedicated to First Nations and their priorities since the high-level gatherings started 120 years ago, there is also hope tangible progress can be made even if the leaders attending have only a few hours together.
“我们之前许多全国酋长和在我之前的原住民，一直都不受尊重，被排除在这些会议之外，”原住民大会（AFN）全国酋长辛迪·伍德豪斯·内皮纳克告诉加拿大广播公司新闻。“我们必须重置我们的关系。”
"A lot of our previous national chiefs and First Nations that have come before my time have always been disrespected and left out of these meetings,” Assembly of First Nations (AFN) National Chief Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak told CBC News. "We have to reset our relationship."
总理办公室表示，此次会议的目标是看到成果，联邦政府将于周一宣布为原住民社区提供新支持的计划。
The Prime Minister's Office says the goal of the meeting is to see outcomes and that the federal government will make an announcement on Monday for new community supports in First Nations.
原住民事务部长曼迪·格尔-马斯蒂表示，她的角色将是鼓励参与者继续合作。她是魁北克省克里民族政府首位当选为大酋长的女性。
Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty, who was the first woman elected as grand chief of the Cree Nation Government in Quebec, said her role will be to encourage the participants to continue working together.
“我认为，这是新关系、前进道路上的第一步，”格尔-马斯蒂说。
"This is the first step in, I think, a new relationship, path forward," Gull-Masty said.
部分原住民领袖称省长会议积极，但包容性仍是问题 卡尼政府被指拖延《印第安法》改革法案“我们希望建立这种关系，推动加拿大事务向前发展，这意味着每个人都必须被纳入其中。” 至少，周一聚会的酋长们表示，他们正在寻求一项承诺，即该活动将成为原住民部落与联邦及省级部长定期会晤的开端。
Some Indigenous leaders call premiers' meeting positive but inclusion remains an issue Carney government is stalling on Indian Act reform bill, advocates, lawmakers charge "We're looking to build this relationship to advance things in Canada, and that means that everybody has to be included." At the very least, chiefs gathering on Monday say they're looking for a commitment that the event will be the start of regular meetings between First Nations and first ministers.
“这不是一次性的会议，”安大略省原住民大会（AFN）区域酋长阿布拉姆·本尼迪克特表示。
"This is not a one-and-done meeting," AFN Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict said.
关于重大项目包容性的张力 此次会议预计将涵盖加拿大630多个原住民部落的广泛议题，包括基础设施和医疗保健需求。但重点很可能集中在经济发展和重大项目上。
Tensions over inclusion in major projects The meeting is expected to cover a wide range of issues from more than 630 First Nations across Canada, including infrastructure and health-care needs. But much of the focus will likely be on economic development and major projects.
本尼迪克特表示，他希望确保各级部长理解，原住民必须从一开始就参与关于项目的决策，而不是在工作已经开始后才被纳入——他表示，尽管政府做出了承诺，但这种情况仍然过于频繁地发生。
Benedict said he wants to make sure first ministers understand that First Nations have to be involved in decisions about projects from the outset, not after work has already started — something that he said still happens too often despite commitments from governments.
“大型项目开发有两条不同的路径：要么与原住民部落合作，要么不与原住民部落合作，”他说。
"There are two different pathways through the large project development: It's either with First Nations or without First Nations," he said.
“其中一条将播下成功合作的种子，不仅造福我们的部落，也造福省份和我们所生活的国家。另一条则将遭遇抵制和法律挑战。” 代表安大略省北部49个原住民部落的菲德勒表示，他希望为被排除在“火环”讨论之外的酋长们找到解决方案——“火环”是安大略省詹姆斯湾低地一个5000平方公里的区域，该省和联邦政府希望在那里开采关键矿产。
"One will seed a successful collaboration that brings benefit not only to our nations but to the province and to the nation in which we live in. And the other one will be met with resistance and court challenges." Fiddler, who represents 49 First Nations in northern Ontario, said he wants to find a resolution for chiefs shut out of discussions on the Ring of Fire — a 5,000-square-kilometre area in Ontario's James Bay lowlands that the province and Ottawa want to see mined for critical minerals.
但他不确定，考虑到会议的结构安排，这些担忧是否能够得到传达。
But he's not sure any of those concerns can be conveyed given the way the meeting is structured.
准入问题引发反弹，蒙上阴影 截至周五，第一民族酋长们告诉加拿大广播公司（CBC）新闻，每个第一民族大会（AFN）地区将获得三分钟时间，于周一发表开场致辞。
Backlash over access casts shadow As of Friday, First Nations chiefs told CBC News that each AFN region would be given three minutes to deliver opening remarks on Monday.
仅安大略省就有130多个第一民族，菲德勒表示，他认为这种形式不利于建设性讨论。
With more than 130 First Nations in Ontario alone, Fiddler said he doesn't think the format is conducive to a constructive discussion.
菲德勒正从安大略省桑德贝飞往会议地点，但截至周五，他不知道自己能否进入主会场，甚至不知道是否获准发言。
Fiddler is flying from Thunder Bay, Ont., to attend the meeting, but as of Friday he didn't know if he would be able to participate in the main meeting room or even be allowed to speak.
“我觉得这非常不尊重人，”他说。“他们的做法不可接受。”第一民族大会表示，将为未在主会场的酋长设立旁听室。菲德勒说，他被告知他们必须上交手机，以确保没人录制会议。
"I find it very disrespectful," he said. "Their approach is unacceptable." The AFN said there will be an observation room for chiefs who aren't in the main meeting room. Fiddler said he was told they would have to surrender their cellphones to ensure no one records the meeting.
联邦-省/地区首脑会议历来闭门举行，但伍德豪斯·内皮纳克表示，她希望看到这次会议全程电视直播。
First ministers' meetings are traditionally held behind closed doors, but Woodhouse Nepinak said she would prefer to see this one fully televised.
“这对加拿大人至关重要，对第一民族也至关重要，”她说。“我们彼此越透明、越公开，效果就越好。”古尔-马斯蒂说，这次会议是由枢密院办公室与第一民族大会共同策划的。她将其描述为联邦-省/地区首脑与第一民族之间的首次对话。
"It's so important to Canadians. It's so important to First Nations," she said. "The more transparent and open we are with each other, the better." Gull-Masty said the meeting was planned by the Privy Council Office with the AFN. She describes it as a first conversation between first ministers and First Nations.
“我其实很期待，也非常激动，想看看这次对话将如何展开，”她说。“这将是所有来到谈判桌前的人的一个决定性机会。”
"I'm actually looking forward and very excited to see how this conversation is going to unfold," she said. "It's going to be a defining opportunity for everybody who comes to that table."
