*The #Saugeen #FirstPeoples won their lawsuit 👏 Appeals court dismissed #Ontario government's appeal. Justice was finally served.*
Ontario's top court has upheld a lower court's ruling that a strip of #SaubleBeach, a popular Ontario tourist spot, has always belonged to a local #FirstNation.
In a 121-page decision on Monday, the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissed appeals brought by the Municipality of South #BrucePeninsula, the Ontario government, and several local families to the April 2023 ruling by Superior Court Justice Susan Vella.
"Justice was done today," said Saugeen First Nation Chief Conrad Ritchie in a statement, calling it a "powerful moment" for the Saugeen community.
In her 2023 decision, Vella ruled that "Chi-Cmiinh," a roughly two-kilometre strip of beach at the northern end of Saugeen Reserve No. 29, had always belonged to Chippewas of Saugeen First Nation, and that the federal government breached its treaty rights.
The Crown, Vella wrote, failed to protect and preserve the #treaty it signed in 1854, Treaty 72, in which the First Nation and neighbouring #Chippewas of Nawash surrendered Saugeen Peninsula, excluding five #Indigenous reserve territories. One would become #ReserveNo29.

CW: TW Voice to Parliament, AusPol
The Voice to Parliament debate has been co-opted into a racism litmus test by mainstream media - No for "racist", Yes for "not racist". However, First Nations activists have been protesting and expressing their concerns on the covert, systemic racism of the Yes campaign; from the parallels to other well-meaning but harmful assimilation tactics throughout Australia's colonial history to the white guilt, saviourism and paternalism of prescribing a powerless Voice as the best/only choice for Indigneous people.

A second rally on Parliament Hill in #Ottawa heard from chiefs and #FirstNations scholars in #Ontario who vehemently object to the #federal #legislation #BillC53, which recognizes #selfgovernment for the #Métis Nations of #Ontario #Alberta and #Saskatchewan.
At issue is six additional historic Métis communities the #MNO is claiming.
