Federal Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Marc Miller says the feds will kick in $800 million as monetary compensation under the settlement, noting it’s owed to the First Nations and not free money

Miller says the broken promises following Treaty 8 resulted in decades of negotiations to resolve historic land debts owed by the Crown.
