Press Conference: April 26, 9 am EST, Toronto, NDP Caucus Room #351, Queen's Park

Key Points: 
  • The case is a head-on challenge to the Crown governments' purported unilateral jurisdiction and decision-making control throughout Treaty 9 Territory.
  • What was agreed to was co-jurisdiction, or parallel consent; both First Nations and the Crown have to consent to developments and activities on the Treaty 9 lands.
  • After they got us to sign, the Crown held out the written text - which we never agreed to - as the treaty.
  • We are now ready to make this challenge against unilateral Crown control," says Solomon Atlookan, Chief of Eabametoong First Nation.
