Budget plans signal better life for indigenous peoples, Allicock says

Minister of Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Sydney Allicock says planned interventions under the proposed 2017 national budget demonstrate the importance of the indigenous communities and peoples to the process of national development.

Speaking immediately after former minister of Amerindian affairs Pauline Sukhai on Thursday, Allicock sought to clarify how government policy, as expressed in the budget, would result in a better life for the people of the hinterland.
