Biden slammed by indigenous groups for selection of Ambassador to Canada

Indigenous groups are slamming President Joe Biden for his selection of David Cohen as the United States Ambassador to Canada.  Cohen served as the CEO of Comcast and as the Chairman of the University of Pennsylvania‘s Board of Trustees — which has paid Biden more than $1 million for a no-show job at the school.

“With all due respect to Mr. Cohen, he has absolutely zero experience in Indian affairs at a time when Canada is embroiled in ongoing indigenous political liberation struggles from coast to coast,” explains one delegate-member of the National Congress of American Indians, the largest association of tribal governments in the United States.  “The national moment in Canada concerning the discovery of mass graves at hundreds of residential re-education schools across the country is appalling, and Canada’s treatment of indigenous people has become a global human rights issue.”
