Historic Achievement for Michipicoten First Nation

TORONTO, Jan. 16 - Ontario Regional Chief Angus Toulouse extended congratulations to the Michipicoten First Nation on their historic land claim settlement with Canada and Ontario. Following a successful ratification vote held on January 12, 2008, Chief Joe Buckell and the Michipicoten First Nation Council authorized a resolution calling for the negotiated land claim agreement to be signed by all three governments.

As the Abriginal population grows and the same level of funding (or even less) continues to be made available by governments, this means that the already underfunded First Nations will be receiving less of these resources as the cities and their institutions, organizations and agencies demand more and more financial support and facilities to take care of themselves.
