Grassy Narrows Chief said he was deeply concerned about the roughly 5,000 mining claims that have been granted in its traditional territory.
Ontario’s Indigenous Affairs Minister says the wishes of First Nations against resource development must be balanced against those in favour, after the Premier refused to meet with a Northern Indigenous group opposed to mining on their territories.
“We are here to tell them that we will not allow any activity in our territory. We will stand up to it,” Mr. Turtle said. “We want our territory to be preserved in its natural state.” But Mr. Ford on Tuesday declined to meet the LDA, instead offering Indigenous Affairs Minister Greg Rickford as his proxy. Mr. Rickford said the objective of the government is to reach consensus among all the First Nations impacted by the Ring of Fire and other major mining projects, referring to communities that favour development.
