What do you rate as 2017's biggest Indigenous stories?

This year, the MEDIA INDIGENA roundtable wraps up 2017 with a long look back at the year that was and how it impacted Indigenous peoples, for good or for ill.

To that end, we'd be curious to know your selections: what did you see as the most significant Indigenous faces, facts + features of 2017? Alternatively, who might be the Indigenous people to watch for 2018? What Indigenous stories will tell the tale of 2018?

Share your comments here and we'll do our best to include them on the show, which we're recording very soon, so be sure to get in your suggestions asap for the stories of Indigenous significance for 2017!

The biggest story that wasn't covered enough was the Nation to Nation MOU that left out all of the nations, and turned over the Canada-Native partnership to the AFN: <a href="http://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/march-2017/the-fatal-flaw-in-the-nation-to-nation-agenda/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/march-2017/the-fatal-flaw-in-the-nation-to-nation-agenda/</a> . The biggest story of 2018 - I'm betting - is provinces, and small town cops next to reserves, screwing with Native marijuana producers. Debate on reserves about how to deal with legalization. And - I hope - the discovery of the 'Snoop Effect' post legalization on reserves with high crime/high substance abuse rates - stoners don't beat people up, they eat too much and listen to crappy music.
