In Episode 92 of my Warrior Life Podcast, we get to talk to Ugpi’gangig Chief Sacha LaBillois. Ugpi’ganjig, also known as Eel River Bar First Nation is located in northern New Brunswick, Canada and is my home community. It’s also part of the larger Mi’kmaw Nation.
Chief LaBillois shares with us her journey to becoming a Chief and some of the issues facing our First Nation, including the recent unlawful RCMP raid.
