Bill Wilson, a hereditary chief and the father of former cabinet minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, has died.
Wilson-Raybould announced his death on social media, saying her father’s life was “one of leadership and striving to make change.”

He once told Pierre Elliott Trudeau that his daughters, Jody and Kory, would become prime ministers one day.
