Leadership in more than a dozen Ontario First Nations accuse MNO of trying to divide them through letter writing campaign requesting discussions on formation of 'respectful' relationships, memorandums of understanding
Leadership in more than a dozen First Nations are accusing the Métis in Ontario of attempts to divide them through a letter writing campaign requesting individual meetings with chiefs and councils to discuss the cultivation of 'respectful' relationships and memorandums of understanding.
First Nations that reportedly received letters from the MNO include Beausoleil First Nation, Caldwell First Nation, Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation, Chippewas of Rama First Nation, Curve Lake First Nation, Eelŭnaapéewi Lahkéewiit , Hiawatha First Nation, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte, Moose Deer Point First Nation, Munsee-Delaware Nation, Oneida Nation of the Thames, and Wahta Mohawks.
“Their letter also makes clear that the corporation is still coming for the rights and territories of our brothers and sisters in the rest of the province. Every nation in Ontario needs to know that we are with them in this fight. Governments at all levels have pandered to this corporate organization with unsubstantiated claims for too long and now it has the confidence to think we, as First Nations, would sell each other out.
“In our letter, we made it clear that the MNO citizens living outside their traditional territories in southern Ontario do so as guests on the traditional lands of the First Nations. Knowing that other First Nations likely had the same questions or concerns, the MNO sent a similar letter to all First Nations in southern Ontario where Métis do not assert land rights.”
