In the letter the Hereditary Chiefs are requesting the removal of Nathan Cullen as the NDP Candidate for the Stikine riding.
The letter comes as Cullen has been under fire for remarks he made during an all candidates forum in Smithers.
The remarks were made against Liberal Candidate for the North Coast Roy Jones Jr. On Saturday in a Facebook post the Council of the Haida Nation issued a statement saying that, “Mr. Cullen has established a good relationship with the Haida Nation and his recent comments do not warrant his resignation or an apology to the Haida Nation.”
Cullen is running against Former Mayor of Telkwa Darcy Repen of the Rural BC Party, Rod Taylor Leader of the Christian Heritage Party, and Executive Director for the Gitxsan Government Gordon Sebastian.
