Ahead of Treaty Week, Nov. 7-9, the team announce they are looking to Feb. 2024 to receive the $10 billion settlement amount, and spring/summer for per capita distributions
In light of the final Anishnaabe nation signature on the proposed settlement in the Robinson Huron Treaty annuities case, the treaty litigation team has released a statement, and a general timeline for next steps.
The settlement is aimed at compensating for past revenue losses related to the treaty, which was signed in 1850 and promised annual payments to Indigenous beneficiaries in exchange for land use rights. The rates of these payments have not changed since 1874, despite significant revenue generated from land resources. The settlement is seen as a long-overdue recognition of the Crown's failure to fulfill its treaty promises.
The release also notes a timeline for the official signing, “the end of November 2023 or early December 2023” but states that a date for executing the settlement agreement “cannot be set until Canada and Ontario complete their internal approval processes.” Until then, states RHTLF, the Robinson Huron First Nations “will continue the work that was started at the community engagement sessions this past summer.”
It also states they heard from “many” community members that they want to “communicate directly with your Chiefs and Councils to have your questions answered and provide your input into discussions about the use of the compensation funds.”
