Grand Chief Edward John of Canada, Chair of this year's UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), briefs correspondents on the Forum's high-level event
Pop star Justin Bieber, a Canadian, says because he has indigenous heritage, he is entitled to free gas when he travels in Canada.

He spoke to the UN's William Bergman on the occasion of the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
