Grassy Narrows Youth Respond to Supreme Court Hearing
OTTAWA – The Grassy Narrows’ Trappers’ Case finally reached the Supreme Court of Canada today, after more than a decade winding its way through the system. Lawyers representing Grassy Narrows First Nation, the Canadian Ministry of Natural Resources, Attorney Generals’ Offices, Resolute Forest Products and Goldcorp, as well as nearly a dozen other First Nations, argued about the Treaty rights of Anishinabe people in Treaty 3 territory, which will have a major impact on the future of resource extraction industries operating in Indigenous territories throughout Ontario and across the country. It will likely be some time before there is a ruling.
