At the time, the women proposed a number of ideas, including the now-expanded community safety officer powers and home searches.
As well, community safety officers can now search any Mushuau Innu Band Council-owned homes, either routinely or if they suspect drugs may be present.
“You have to give them time.”The Natuashish bylaw states that any Innu removed or banned from the community will have 30 days to leave.
There is drug dealing happening in our community,” Nui said.
“I feel so happy,” said Aldea Piwas, one of the mothers and grandmothers pushing for change in the Innu community.
