Phil Fontaine: James Weisgerber

James Weisgerber: Some call him brother, others call him doctor, but Archbishop James V. Weisgerber would really prefer to answer to a simple "Father Jim." , according to Winnipeg Free Press. "I worked for 30 years as a priest in Regina and I'm anxious to reconnect with people," says Weisgerber, who will take on the title of Archbishop Emeritus. Archbishop James Weisgerber reacts to a joke made by Wab Kinew, who conducted a ceremony at the Thunderbird House. Anishinaabe elders and community leaders Tobasonakwut Kinew, Fred Kelly, Phil Fontaine and Bert Fontaine adopted the archbishop in a traditional Naabagoondiwin adoption ceremony.
