Hello Wolf Lake First Nation Members,

I am currently reaching out to collect updated information regarding members’ fishing, hunting, and recreational camps. The purpose of this initiative is to maintain an accurate and up-to-date database that will support our efforts to protect members’ rights and interests in matters involving forestry operations, mining activities, and government agencies.

I will be contacting members individually in the coming weeks. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to my office directly if you would like to provide your information or have any questions.

Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Kwey kakina,

I want to share a short excerpt from my testimony before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Indigenous and Northern Affairs.

In this clip, I explain why Wolf Lake First Nation is often incorrectly described as “landless.” We have always had our territory. What we have been denied is a reserve, because Canada did not fulfill its obligation to set land aside for our people.

I also speak to the real consequences of that failure. When a First Nation is denied a land base, the impacts are not abstract. The cost of delay is paid every day by our families and Elders.

This testimony is now part of the official parliamentary record. I will continue to press Canada to act and will keep members informed as this work moves forward.

Meegwetch,
