NAN States It Won’t Follow Legislation

Northwestern Ontario First Nations say they will not recognize the Far North Act if it’s passed by the provincial legislature.
Nishnawbe-Aski Nation Grand Chief Stan Beardy says the voices of First Nations people in Northern Ontario are being ignored.
The bill would block up to 42-percent of Ontario’s land mass from development, protecting 225-thousand square kilometres of Boreal Forest.
Nishnawbe-Aski Nation represents 49 First Nation communities in an area covering two thirds of the province.
