With the Assembly of First Nations election just weeks away, incumbent National Chief Perry Bellegarde is attempting to sway his millennial colleagues with a controversial new track and accompanying video called This is Canada.
“We saw what Childish Gambino did with This is America and thought, hey, why not?” Bellegarde told reporters on Friday. “My colleagues, whether they’re baby boomers or increasingly, millennials, need to know I am their voice in Ottawa.”
Bellegarde dances shirtless in exaggerated powwow moves in the video, which contains numerous cryptic references to the 2% federal funding cap, child welfare, pipelines and memorandums of understand with the government.
