FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS “ I am proud of my people for wanting to take back management of the land because it has been too long that we didn’t have a say in what happened on our land. We voted yes because we want to go back to managing our land and traditional territories. If you look back at our past, there were only native people here and we had to look after our land, so that’s what we did. So now we have that chance again to manage our land and teach our children. Land is everything to us.” Chief Veronica Waboose Long Lake 58 First Nation, Longlac, Ontario Shutterstock/Sergei Bachlakov THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT ON FIRST NATION LAND MANAGEMENT The road to the Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management (Framework Agreement) began in the late 1980’s, launched by a small group of First Nations Chiefs, looking for a way for First Nation communities to leave the paternalistic constraints of the Indian Act behind. The purpose of the Framework Agreement was to recognize the inherent right of First Nations to resume control over their lands and resources for the use and benefit of their members without Government interference, by replacing the land provisions of the Indian Act with First Nation made laws. Why is the Framework Agreement so important? The Framework Agreement was signed by the Minister of Indian Affairs and In the past, some have asked why the creation of the Framework Northern Development and 13 First Nations on February 12, 1996. Agreement was so important. The answer lies in the shortcomings of the Indian Act. The Framework Agreement sets out the principal components of reserve land governance. It is not a treaty and does not affect treaty or other Under the Indian Act First Nations were considered wards of the state aboriginal constitutional rights of the First Nations. and not governments. The Framework Agreement was ratified by Canada through the enactment The Indian Act gave the government of Canada the authority to of the First Nations Land Management Act on June 17, 1999. legislate all matters concerning “Indians and lands reserved for Indians”.

The option to regain control of their lands and resources can only be undertaken with the consent of the The Indian Act was legislated without the involvement, consultation community. or consent of First Nations peoples. It enabled the government to exercise control over children, families and communities by imposing A signatory First Nation to the Framework Agreement creates its own foreign systems of governance, education, health, and religion. land code, community ratification process, and enters into an Individual Agreement with Canada.

  • Upper Shebeshekong Wetland Conservation Reserve (C115)
    Upper Shebeshekong Wetland Conservation Reserve (C115) Statement of Conservation Interest March 2005 Upper Shebeshekong Wetland Conservation Reserve (C115) Statement of Conservation Interest Ministry of Natural Resources Parry Sound District Prepared with the assistance of: Meteek & Company Huntsville, Ontario March 2005 i Approval Statement We are pleased to approve this Statement of Conservation Interest for Upper Shebeshekong Wetland Conservation Reserve (C115). Upper Shebeshekong Wetland Conservation Reserve is a 5,304 hectare area of Crown land that extends to the shoreline of Georgian Bay. The northern portion of the site is located in the geographic township of Shawanaga; most of that area is within the Municipality of the Township of The Archipelago, although the extreme eastern portions are unincorporated. The southern portion of the site is located within the Township of Carling. A portion of the northern boundary of this site is adjacent to Shawanaga First Nation territory. There is an isolated parcel of three lots (Lot 15, Concession 1 in the geographic township of Shawanaga, and Lots 20 and 21, Concession 10 in Carling Township) totaling 123 hectares, approximately one kilometre east of the main conservation reserve. The name of this protected area was changed from Shawanaga-Shebeshekong Conservation Reserve (as referred to in the Land Use Strategy), in order to avoid confusion with two other conservation reserves in this area which include the name “Shawanaga” in their site names. It was decided that the name of Upper Shebeshekong Wetland Conservation Reserve is more representative of the site, since most of the area is within the ‘Shebeshekong’ River watershed, and the name more accurately reflects one of the key values: the presence of a large complex of diverse wetlands.

  • Belonging to Lake Nipissing: Knowledge, Governance, and Human-Fish Relations
    Belonging to Lake Nipissing: Knowledge, Governance, and Human-Fish Relations by Nicole Latulippe A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Geography and Planning University of Toronto © Copyright by Nicole Latulippe (2017) Belonging to Lake Nipissing: Knowledge, Governance, and Human-Fish Relations Nicole Latulippe Doctor of Philosophy Geography and Planning University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Fishing constitutes an essential relation through which Nipissing peoples belong to Lake Nipissing. Belonging in and through human-fish relations is an affective, embodied, and dynamic relation. It is a reciprocal relation that expresses an Anishinaabe cosmology and rich knowledge and governance traditions. The diverse ways that Nipissing peoples belong to the lake are not represented in provincial fisheries policy and dominant epistemic frameworks; on the contrary, current provisions for Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge, ecosystem-based management, and Aboriginal partnerships preserve what Douglas Harris calls the legal capture of fish. In this dissertation, I write beyond the question of how Indigenous Knowledge Systems can improve Canadian fisheries management to center the diverse ways that Nipissing peoples value fish, know the lake, and enact their laws. Theorizing with difference, with that which seems contradictory and fragmented, my research performs important bridging work. Drawing on Nipissing and Anishinaabe theories and embodiments of power, change and transformation, my work seeks to interpret the efforts by Nipissing First Nation members to maintain relations with a hotly contested resource in a deeply challenging historio-legal environment. ii Acknowledgments Many teachers, friends, and institutions have supported this work. Deb McGregor, my academic supervisor, has been so important to my learning process.
