The death of Rafael Napa Andre “once again highlights the importance of increasing the number of resources adopted in the metropolis, especially for the indigenous local population”, Montreal, Valerie Plante Mayor, commented in a press release.

“Society was devastated by the death of Rafael Andre. We are still mobilizing Montreal support along with the Mohawk countries to help the most vulnerable in the Cabot Square area,” Nakuset said. Foyer’s Executive Director for Montreal Native Women.
