The 28 Treaty 3 First Nation Chiefs will be meeting in
Thunder Bay on Tuesday to discuss the Big Trout Lake
mining dispute.
Grand Chief Arnold Gardner says they’ll be holding a
joint strategic meeting the following day with the
Nishinawbe Aski Nation.
Gardner adds they want to send a strong message of
support to the Provincial Government.

Recently six band leaders from Big Trout Lake were
jailed for protesting a mining site on their traditional

Gardner hopes the Provincial Government will be able to
resolve this issue, since they could have prevented it by
properly consulting the first nation.
