Treaty #3 Speaking Out Against Far North Act

Grand Council Treaty 3 has joined the ground swell of opposition against the Far North Act.
Grand Chief Diane Kelly says she’s worried the Provincial Government is taking away some of the decision making over their traditional lands.
Kelly says Aboriginal communities are the only growing population in the North and wants the Provincial Government to recognize their jurisdiction in the Far North.
She adds that the Toronto-based discussions and consultations are not appropriate for decisions that affect this region.
She suggests bi-lateral talks take place between the Province and Treaty 3 take place
