Algonquin elder Claudette Commanda was present at Payette’s installation, on which occasion Commanda gave thanks to the Creator. 

Then at the ceremony the Governor General said it was “a good thing that we finally decided to listen again” to the wisdom of Aboriginal Canadians.

Um, awkward! I wonder how Ms Commanda felt after listening to the Queen's rep diss her beliefs.  It don't get more progressive than that!
