Arron Naytowhow-Mkandawire,

35,

Facilitator/performer

Did you vote in the last federal election?

Absolutely!

Will you be voting in this election?

You betcha!

What is the most important issue to you this election?

Personally, I am
most concerned about the economy, immigration, health care and foreign
relations.

Why is it important for Indigenous people to vote?

As caretakers of the
land, it is very important to know what is going on with Canada’s resources.
Who is using them and where they are going. I’m keeping a particular eye on
water.
