A member of the Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq community is running to be national chief.
Dwight Dorey has thrown his name into the hat to be National Chief of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples.
He has focused on advancing rights and education and business opportunities for Aboriginals for 30 years.
Dorey is no stranger to the position – he served as national chief from 2000 until 2006.
The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples’ election will be held during their next Annual General Assembly in September.
