As the Government of #Ontario promotes #Treaties Recognition Week, take note of Ontario’s appeal in Attorney General of Ontario, et al. v. Mike Restoule, et al. challenging First Nations treaty rights. Bruce McIvor of First Peoples Law presents to the SCC. #TreatyON #RHT

"Each member — every man, woman, child, elder on or off reserve — will benefit from having this resolution finally come to conclusion, possibly," Pine Creek First Nation Chief Derek Nepinak told CBC Indigenous. cbc.ca/news/indigenou… #IndigenousRights #mbpoli #Canadianpoli

It was an honour for Kate Gunn and I to represent Teme--Augama Anishnabai/Temagami First Nation in defending their Indigenous rights.

"We're outraged by the disingenuousness of government to be able to say on the one hand they respect the duty to consult and then turn it into a bit of a sham." Council Chief Ross Montour, Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke @ buff.ly/4abpjXE #IndigenousRights #cdnpoli

In Ontario (Attorney General) v. Restoule, the Court held the Crown must negotiate or, failing agreement, determine the compensation it owes to First Nations for breaching its treaty promises. Read our plain-language summary here: scc-csc.ca/case-dossier/c…. #CdnLaw

It is Unanimous. The SCC has determined the ongoing failure of the Crown to increase the annual annuity has undermined the honour of the Crown. "For almost a century and a half, the Anishinaabe have been left with an empty shell of a treaty promise," cbc.ca/news/politics/…

This morning, the Supreme Court of Canada released its highly anticipated decision in the Restoule appeal. Learn more about the case @ buff.ly/4cXLpP1 #IndigenousRights #cdnpoli
