A Short History of Chief Island 1856-2007 As Prepared by Leclair
A SHORT HISTORY OF CHIEF ISLAND, 1856-2007 Abstract A brief examination of Chippewas of Rama First Nation’s assertion to title Prepared for Chippewas of Rama First Nation by Leclair Historical Research, June 2021 PRIVILEDGED AND CONFIDENTIAL Introduction In late May 2021 Cathy Edney, Communications Manager, Rama First Nation contacted Leclair Historical Research asking for a primer on the status of Chief Island, Rama Township. Rama First Nation asserts that this island is part of the traditional territory of the Chippewas of Lake Huron and Simcoe, and more specifically, that of Rama First Nation. A search of the historical abstract books for Ramara Township housed at Simcoe County’s Land Registry Office # 51 was also undertaken as a precaution against the question of a title conflict. 1 No cloud on the title to the island was found. In sum, Chief Island has never been covered by treaty and remains Indigenous territory. It has a special significance for Rama First Nation as it has been used as a burial ground for its people for centuries. It is also the final resting place of those ancient ancestors whose care has been entrusted to Rama First Nation. Through a Joint Band Council Resolution passed among the Chippewas of Rama, Beausoleil Island and Georgina Island in 1964, and an accompanying federal Ministerial Order, Chief Island has been expressly named as part of the reserve lands of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. 1 The historical land abstract books are available online through the government of Ontario’s ONLAND, land registry access. https://www.onland.ca/ui/25/books/search.

Media Release
Media Release COLDWATER – NARROWS LAND CLAIM SETTLEMENT Rama First Nation -- December 12, 2012 -- The Chippewa Tri-Council First Nations and Nawash Unceded First Nation have received confirmation that the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC), the Hon. John Duncan, has signed the Coldwater- Narrows Land Claim Settlement Agreement, concluding this long outstanding claim. The four First Nation communities are now in the process of receiving full compensation and implementing trust agreements established by their membership as part of a ratification process which took place earlier in the year. This brings to an end the largest specific land claim in Canadian history. The Coldwater-Narrows Land Claim began more than 30 years ago when research into the claim began. In 1991, the claim was formally filed with the federal government. While Canada initially rejected the claim in 1996, it was eventually accepted in 2002. Ten years of hard negotiations led to this historic outcome. The Chippewa Tri-Council First Nations, which include the Chippewas of Rama First Nation, the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation and Beausoleil First Nation, all voted to ratify the Settlement Agreement on April 14th, 2012. The Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation ratified their agreement on July 7th, 2012. A formal signing ceremony with the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs is tentatively planned for the new year. Chief Sharon Stinson Henry of Rama First Nation has been a part of the negotiating table since the claim was accepted in August of 2002. She said that the conclusion of the claim is one that has long been a part of her work on behalf of her community.

Special thanks to the Aboriginal Health Circle for their valuable input and ongoing partnership which is essential to the success of this work. 2 Aboriginal Communities in the North Simcoe Muskoka Region Regional Index First Nations Communities 11. Beausoleil First Nation 24. Chippewas of Rama First Nation 74. Moose Deer Point First Nation 121. Wahta Mohawks Metis Nation of Ontario Community Councils 5. Georgian Bay Métis Council 13. Moon River Métis Council 3 The First Nation, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) population of the North Simcoe Muskoka (NSM) region is approximately 20,000, accounting for approximately 6% of Ontario’s Indigenous inhabitants. The region is home to 4 First Nations communities and 2 Métis Community Councils: Moose Deer Point First Nation, Beausoleil First Nation and Chippewas of Rama (served by the Union of Ontario Indians), Wahta Mohawks (served by the Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians), the Georgian Bay Métis Council, and Moon River Métis Council. It should be noted here that Midland and Innisfil consecutively have the 1st and 2nd largest Métis populations in Ontario. In addition to these communities, NSM is home to a large urban Aboriginal population. There are now more Aboriginal people living in urban centers than there are living in Aboriginal territories, communities on reserves and Métis settlements. It is estimated that 65% of the Indigenous population of Simcoe Muskoka constitute a permanent presence throughout the region. This percentage of the Indigenous community is primarily serviced by Native Women’s Groups, Native Friendship Centre's and additional community based organizations listed on page 7 of this document.

About-The-Governance
Governance Working Group Overview Working Groups and the Anishinabek Nation Governance Initiatives The Anishinabek Nation is currently in the process of implementing two self-governance initiatives to restore inherent jurisdictional rights to Anishinabek First Nations and their people in areas of Education and Governance. The mandates for these initiatives have come from Grand Council Resolutions that are directed by the Chiefs in Assembly, as part of an overall Nation-Building strategy that includes the implementation of the Anishinabek Declaration 1980. These resolutions, which are implemented by the Leadership and technical staff of the Anishinabek Nation, have mandated initiatives such as the Restoration of Jurisdiction Project, the Constitution Development Project, the E’Dbendaagzijig Citizenship Law, the Anishinabek Child Well-Being Law, and the Education and Governance Agreement Negotiations. The Anishinabek Nation has been negotiating with Canada for the restoration of jurisdiction in Education for over 20 years, and following a successful ratification in December 2016, the Kinoomaadziwin Education Board is forging ahead with the Anishinabek Education System (AES) start-up and implementation planning, and nearing conclusion of the Master Education Agreement with the province of Ontario. Governance has been in negotiations for more than 10 years and the Agreement is nearing completion and preparing for a vote in May/June 2019. Upon completion, both self-governance agreements will enable First Nations with law-making authorities in the specific areas of Education and Governance. As part of the on-going negotiations and the development of the two agreements, First Nation Chiefs recognized the importance of having grassroots input into the negotiations, and therefore mandated the Anishinabek Nation to coordinate the development of two working groups.

THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT 2. SIGNATORY COMMUNITIES 3. ULTIMATE GOALS 4. THE LANDS ADVISORY BOARD 5. THE RESOURCE CENTRE 6. FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT SUCCESS 7. 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.
