Onion Lake Cree Nation has taken legal action against Alberta over the province’s sovereignty act.
During the last legislative session, Smith said she believes Alberta’s fight with Ottawa has similarities to Indigenous groups’ relationships with the federal government over the years.Danielle Smith compares Ottawa’s treatment of Alberta to struggles of First Nations
The nation also claimed it takes away from promises made in the treaty, and “negates the guarantees of livelihood and freedom that the treaty was made to protect, by wresting control of all treaty rights and the treaty relationship from the Crown in right of Canada to the lieutenant governor in council of Alberta.”Opposition justice critic Irfan Sabir said the United Conservative government has ignored warnings from First Nations leaders.
The sovereignty act was introduced by Smith as a way for her government to push back whenever it believes the federal government has overreached into provincial jurisdiction and does something it believes harms Alberta’s interest.
