The proposed settlement includes $5 billion from Canada and $5 billion from Ontario to be paid to all 21 First Nations included in the Treaty
The federal and provincial governments have reached a proposed $10 billion settlement with the Robinson Huron Treaty Litigation Fund , representing the 21 Robinson Huron First Nations.
Hosted by Angela Recollect of Shkagamik-Kwe Health Centre in Sudbury, the press conference began with Grand Entry, an eagle staff leading the way. Called an ‘augmentation clause', it meant if further wealth was generated in the territory, the Crown was obligated to increase the annuity. These steps include moving forward with a community engagement process, including consultations with First Nation members and beneficiaries to provide accurate information about the proposed settlement, said Sayers. These sessions will be led by Harry S. LaForme in the Office of Mizhinawe for the Robinson Huron Treaty First Nations.
The compensation will be distributed to the 21 First Nations according to the terms of a compensation disbursement agreement adopted by First Nations chiefs and councils at the outset of the case, said Sayers. The First Nation councils will be responsible for allocating funds for both community purposes and per capita payments to individuals.
