The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) is speaking out after a First Nations woman said she was racially profiled at a Sears Canada store in Prince Albert, Sask.

B. Helen Ermine said she was approached by an employee while on her way to the till to pay for a comforter on Sept. 20.

Ermine said the employee, who wasn’t wearing a name tag, insinuated she was attempting to steal the item.

She said along with being racially profiled, she was insulted and then ejected from the store and when she returned with her husband, the employee shouted at them and locked the door.
