First Nation to receive more than $600M in past compensation as part of historic Robinson Huron Treaty annuities settlement
Leadership in Garden River First Nation has made a decision to provide registered band members a minimum payout of $110,000 each from the Robinson Huron Treaty settlement funds.
“This move aims to ensure equal treatment for all citizens,” the release said. “The council will seek legal advice on handling debts to the band and applicants who applied for status before the cutoff date but received their registration number afterward.” "This settlement is a significant milestone for our community,” said Garden River First Nation Chief Karen Bell in the release. “We are dedicated to managing these funds responsibly and ensuring they benefit both current and future generations of Garden River First Nation."
