@earthmothering9 For decades, mining giants extracted billions from Country while Traditional Owners were expected to be grateful for scraps. Good to finally see the Yindjibarndi people win recognition and compensation after standing up to one of Australia’s richest corporations. Justice should never depend on how long communities can afford to fight.

#OnionLake #CreeNation to proceed with its legal challenge of #Alberta sovereignty act
By Lisa Johnson The Canadian Press, May 15, 2025
EDMONTON - "Alberta’s bill lowering the bar for a separation referendum has spurred a #FirstNation to push ahead with a legal challenge against the premier’s flagship sovereignty act.
"Danielle Smith has said her Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act is needed to push back on what the province believes is unconstitutional federal encroachment into provincial jurisdiction.
"But Onion Lake Cree Nation Chief #HenryLewis said that law has always been about undermining federal authority and asserting provincial control, which goes against his community’s #Treaty6 relationship with the Crown." 'I want to respectfully remind the premier that this land that we stand on today is #Treaty land and is not yours to take or make sweeping decisions about,” he said at a news conference in Edmonton on Thursday.
"He announced the legal challenge is moving forward a day after Smith’s government passed a bill significantly lowering the threshold for citizens to prompt a referendum, including one on seceding from Canada."

Albertans Could Soon Vote on Whether to Separate From Canada. Here’s What to Know
by Chantelle Lee, May 5, 2026
"Many Albertans have slammed the federal Liberal government for blocking #pipeline projects and canceling oil and gas projects. The province’s economy is largely driven by its #OilAndGas extraction, as well as #mining and #quarrying."
