Leaders of three national Indigenous organizations look ahead to the fourth National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Monday .

The Liberal party of today is not quite the same as the one elected in 2015 promising to foster new paths and nation-to-nation relationships with Indigenous Peoples .

The future of that legislation is uncertain with a legal challenge and without unanimous support for the bill by Metis nation organizations.

Bill C-61 is set to go to a vote at a special AFN assembly in October .

Bill co-developed with First Nations to ensure communities have clean water and can protect the source-water on their territories.

Bill has stalled at a House of Commons committee, and many chiefs have questioned whether it goes far enough.

Indigenous Services Minister Patty Hajdu says she is open to adopting any changes to the bill.
