Honourable mention: Treaty commissioner diary discovery

The discovery of the diaries of Treaty 9 commissioners by the Mushkegowuk Tribal Council appears to confirm what many First Nation leaders have been saying all along: that many oral agreements were made between the government and the First Nations that were not reflected in the treaty written in 1905.
“We’re finding the treaty commissioners … said many, many things to our forefathers in regards to the treaty for the purpose of getting that X,” Mushkegowuk Grand Chief Stan Louttit said.
While Louttit has met or planned to meet with federal and provincial officials, he said the Mushkegowuk legal team has prepared a statement of claim to take Ontario and Canada to court because the treaty was not properly presented to the chiefs.
