'It is important to engage on this international stage to monitor how state actors will use novel or complex jurisdictions... to push through agendas that serve corporations and not people'
Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Reg Niganobe is part of a delegation that attended the 22nd United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues to voice concerns on a variety of topics.
In addition to Grand Council Chief Reg Niganobe, the international delegation included representatives from the Bay Mills Indian Community, Center for International Environmental Law, EarthRights International, and Environmental Defence Canada.
“Anishinaabe peoples are peoples of the Great Lakes basin. The international border creates an artificial divide between our American and Canadian families. At the United Nations, we will continue to seek clarity on the application of principles of free, prior, and informed consent when it comes to state actors and Indigenous peoples that do not live within their domestic jurisdiction,” states Grand Council Chief Niganobe.
Current data practices, both in force and draft legislation, do not align with the Anishinabek Nation sacred duty to protect, preserve, and ensure the well-being of the peoples of the seventh generation.
