For time immemorial, the Matawa First Nations have lived, travelled, hunted, trapped, fished and survived off our traditional territory, using our own governance systems and struc- tures, both within our family clan units and between neighbouring clans and families.

  • Media Release
    MEDIA RELEASE A WIN FOR MATAWA FIRST NATIONS CANADA AND CLIFFS LOSE DECISION ON MOTIONS IN LEGAL PROCEEDING Chiefs Reiterate Their Demand For An Immediate Halt to the Current Environmental Assessment Process THUNDER BAY, ON. MARCH 19, 2013. ‐ Matawa First Nations Chiefs welcome the decision by Madam Prothonotary Aronovitch of the Federal Court to deny motions filed by Canada and Cliffs in the Judicial Review (JR) proceeding that is examining the Environmental Assessment (EA) process in the Ring of Fire. The First Nations launched a legal challenge to the federal EA process for the Cliffs Chromite Project in early November 2011. Cliffs and Canada brought motions challenging some of the evidence of the First Nations in the case. On Friday March 15, 2013, Cliffs and Canada lost their motions on all counts. The Federal Court found that these motions caused "unnecessarily delay" in the proceeding. The court awarded costs to the First Nations, and set the case on an expedited schedule towards a hearing. “Cliffs needs to halt the current EA process and negotiate an appropriate process with our First Nations. We believe the Court will agree with us on that too.” said Chief Roger Wesley of Constance Lake First Nation. “What we have now is a paper-based EA process, run completely outside of the communities affected, with no meaningful involvement of First Nations, and is non-transparent. It needs to be made accessible, by holding hearings in the First Nations and using an independent panel. The First Nations have made it very clear that they are willing to negotiate the parameters for an effective EA process,” said Chief Sonny Gagnon of Aroland First Nation.

  • Health Profile – Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network
    Health Profile – Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network May 2012 North West LHIN RLISS du Nord-Ouest Health Profile for Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network (IDN) Introduction This profile is one of a series of five profiles for each of the proposed Integrated District Networks (IDN)s. Three of the five IDN areas correspond to three of four current sub-LHIN planning areas – Rainy River District, City of Thunder Bay (and surrounding area) and Thunder Bay District (excluding city of Thunder Bay and surrounding area). The fourth and fifth proposed IDNs are formed from the current Kenora District sub-LHIN planning area. The Northern IDN is proposed to encompass Sioux Lookout and all First Nations communities north of Sioux Lookout. The remaining part of Kenora District (including Red Lake, Kenora and Dryden) will be referred to as Kenora District IDN. The map illustrates the North West LHIN’s current sub-LHIN planning areas showing communities that have acute care hospitals. Figure 1: Map of the North West LHIN The Thunder Bay District sub-LHIN planning area of the North West LHIN corresponds to the Thunder Bay District Census Division (CD) excluding the City of Thunder Bay census subdivision and the surrounding census subdivisions of Neebing, Oliver Paipoonge, Conmee, Gillies, O’Connor, Shuniah and Fort William 52. Moving forward, it is proposed that the area will be referred to as the Thunder Bay District Integrated District Network (IDN).
