#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."

This could be big, or could be more lip service. We shall see. It doesn't give any #land rights or #harvesting rights, it's more about internal affairs and #governance, so I'm not too hopeful.

Development of a gold mine in Cat Lake First Nation traditional territory was paused for the nation’s own environmental assessment of a project that could impact hunting, fishing and treaty rights for at least 100 years, said the chief.
But then Ontario granted the mining company a permit to build a road to the mine site, sending the nation off to court to bring a stop to construction.

Supreme Court Rules Against #NavajoNation in #WaterRights Case
The vote was 5 to 4, with the majority finding that an 1868 treaty did not require the federal government to ensure the tribe had access to water.
By Adam Liptak
June 22, 2023"The Supreme Court ruled against the Navajo Nation on Thursday in a water rights case, rejecting the tribe’s suit against the federal government in a dispute over access to the drought-depleted Colorado River system.
"The vote was 5 to 4, with Justice Brett M. #Kavanaugh writing for the majority. He said the 1868 peace treaty at the heart of the case did not require the federal government to take 'affirmative steps' to secure water for the Navajo.
"In dissent, Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, joined by the court’s three liberal members, said the tribe’s request was more modest than that, adding that the government had violated the plain terms of the #treaty and had given the tribe an epic runaround.
"'To date, their efforts to find out what water rights the United States holds for them have produced an experience familiar to any American who has spent time at the Department of Motor Vehicles,' he wrote. 'The Navajo have waited patiently for someone, anyone, to help them, only to be told (repeatedly) that they have been standing in the wrong line and must try another.'
"He added that the runaround had persisted for decades: 'When this routine first began in earnest, Elvis was still making his rounds on ‘The Ed Sullivan Show.’
"The Navajo Tribe is one of the largest in the United States, with more than 300,000 enrolled members, Justice Kavanaugh wrote. And its reservation, a product of the treaty, is the biggest in the nation, spanning more than 17 million acres in parts of #Arizona, #NewMexico and #Utah. It is about the size of West Virginia.
"In the arid West, Justice Kavanaugh wrote, 'water has long been scarce, and the problem is getting worse.'
"The tribe sued the federal government in 2003, seeking to compel it to assess the tribe’s needs and devise a plan to meet them. The states of Arizona, Colorado and Nevada intervened in the suit, seeking to protect their own access to water from the #ColoradoRiver system."

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.
