Garden River First Nation last community to sign off on historic settlement agreement between Robinson Huron Treaty beneficiaries, Canada and Ontario; settlement now officially a done deal
Garden River First Nation has officially approved the $10-billion settlement agreement between Robinson Huron Treaty beneficiaries, Canada and Ontario for unpaid treaty annuity increases dating back to the late 1800s — a move that now makes the historic settlement a done deal.
Ironically, Bell said, Garden River was the last community to sign off on the Robinson Huron Treaty itself in 1850. Band elections happened in Garden River First Nation later that month, which saw just two council members retain their seats on the new-look council.
Chief Bell emphasized, “This is more than just compensation; it’s about acknowledging and reaffirming the original intent and spirit of the Robinson Huron Treaty. The signing of the Settlement Agreement relates to past compensation associated with the annuities clause within the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850, and in no way impedes, effects, or diminishes the rights affirmed as outlined in the Treaty.
