Ontario Premier Doug Ford is "blowing into the wind" when he talks about driving a bulldozer into the James Bay Lowlands to launch the Ring of Fire mining project, and new tactics are needed to deal with Ford and his federal counterparts, says former Batchewana First Nation Chief Dean Sayers.
Sayers has been a key figure in negotiations that resulted last month in the $10-billion Robinson Huron Treaty annuities settlement.Voting is scheduled for Dec. 6 at a special chiefs assembly in Ottawa.I've been helping with protecting this area, Bawating, for a long time. Not only me, but my ancestors have been looking after this area for a very long time.
This particular area of Bawating, there is the strongest treaty in Canada that guides the conduct of Canada, that was designed and signed right here in Bawating, that allowed us as the original people to do what we've been in the habit of doing. Eat the way we've been able to eat, manage the forest, manage the minerals.You've got to stop looking for the province for the truth, and for the reflection of what the Crown and our people originally agreed to.
But the continuation of these foundational messages are ingrained within the blood memory of our people.
