Unveiling a Hidden History: CBC News exposes a massive RCMP surveillance program targeting Indigenous organizations from 1968 to 1982, involving 150 officers and hundreds of Indigenous people. Declassified documents reveal widespread spying, including wiretaps on the National Indian Brotherhoods Ottawa offices. Indigenous leaders long suspected this infiltration, driven by fears of growing activism for self-determination. The files use outdated racist terms and survivors express betrayal over informants. Experts call these files a major historical breakthrough, with reactions from former chiefs and premiers highlighting their relevance today. Calls grow for informants to come forward in the name of truth and reconciliation.
