Sackaney said First Nations will not “settle for anything other than nothing but the best so we can live comfortably and live our lives freely.”

"and live our lives freely.”

One cannot determine for certain what the speaker of these words meant. If I was to mutter these words it might be to express that I wanted to live without undue goverment regulation/interference. Others might utter these words to exclaim no interference whatsover.... In the context of who the speaker was/it these words may have been meant to express the freedom to preserve their cultures, identities, customs, traditions and languages.

In my mind the the first part of that sentence ( "nothing but the best ") could be construed as being the more offputting part of that sentence, as it could imply that one is entitled to treatment/conditions that are superior to the average individual. It is possibly that the speaker meant to express that they were seeking benefits/services/standards equal/equivalent to those received by other Ontarians for example.
