Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Willie Little Child, honorary chief of the Canadian Indian Cree tribe, came to London to see the Queen yesterday, writes Kathy Marks. But the Queen was busy, so he and other tribal elders staged a prayer ceremony in traditional costume outside the gates of Buckingham Palace.
The Indian and Inuit peoples of Canada are concerned about a possible European Union ban on the import of products made from the fur of trapped animals. While international sentiment has turned against the fur trade, they argue that their communities are dependent on it.
The delegation had hoped to ask the Queen to honour a treaty signed by Queen Victoria in which she guaranteed the fur-trapping rights of indigenous Canadian peoples.
