Chief Jonathan Kruger from the local Penticton Indian Band replaced him.
A spokesman for the university could not comment on why Grand Chief Phillip had pulled out. Just a day earlier, the leader of 115 First Nation tribes in British Columbia known as the Union of BC Chiefs, declined to turn up at historic reconciliation ceremony with the royals at Government House in Victoria in protest at government treatment of his people.
He said in a statement:
'With the deepening poverty of our communities, remembering the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls and the ongoing negligence of indigenous child welfare policies across this country, in good conscience, I cannot participate in the Black Rod Ceremony.'
Kensington Palace declined to comment on the controversy

I love the way he choose to drive home his anger at the treatment of his people by the government.

I swear, some of you on LIB gets dumber by the day. Before you judge this man for snubbing the royal couple, do yourself a favor and read up on the treatment of aboriginals in Canada. Some of them live in 'third world' condition. The government of Canada treats them like crap. The white man came and stole their lands hundreds of years ago, killing millions and torturing the rest. Raped their wives and force their children into boarding schools where they torture, rape, and forced them to forget their native language. Till date, they are yet to receive an apology from the royal family. You idiots with no self-respect are here spewing your garbage. You think its everyone that get star-struck like you morons? Some people actually have self respect and no amount of royal visit will fix what was done. A sincere apology is a good place to start.
Wow. Al lot of illiterates like u on Lindas blog.
