  • The First Nations

    The First Nations

    Our First Nations Neighbours Peter Jones - c1845 According to several accounts, the first European to travel through Rice Lake was Samuel de Champlain about 1615. But... Artifacts from a 1974 archaeological dig on Rice Lake’s Sugar Island are on display in the Alderville Community Centre. They point to the existence of human settlement in this area about 1000-1500 years ago, or during the Middle Woodland Period. While all Canadians can join in the celebration of 150 years since four provinces formed the Dominion of Canada, First Nations can look back over a much longer history on these lands. The current residents of Alderville First Nation, on the south shore of Rice Lake, have a rich heritage. Wars between the various native tribes in southern Ontario and the northern American states, wars between the French and the English, changing alliances between all four, and various treaties were the story of the 1600s, 1700s and early 1800s. They all set the stage for the more recent story of our native community. At the time of the American Revolution (1775) people of the Mississauga nation were living in this area. As settlers continued to pour in from the United States, the Mississauga’s traditional semi-nomadic way of life was increasingly under threat. The landscape was changing, and the Mississauga were gradually pushed from their traditional hunting grounds. “The establishment of farms and additional settlements in the decades to follow disrupted the Mississauga’s fishing and hunting... Many Indians were hungry for new religious guidance, since their old religion seemed incapable of protecting them.” “I cannot suppose for a moment that the Supreme Disposer has decreed that the doom of Donald Smith, Sacred Feathers the red man is to fall and gradually disappear, like the mighty wilderness, before the axe of the European settler” – Peter Jones.

  • Cat Lake First Nation Housing Crisis

    Cat Lake First Nation Housing Crisis

    March 6, 2019 The Hon. Seamus O’Regan Minister of Indigenous Services House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Dear Minister O’Regan, Like most Canadians, the members of the Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) were shocked and saddened to learn about the health and housing crisis in Cat Lake First Nation, which prompted a call for emergency assistance last month. The physical illnesses experienced by the children and families of Cat Lake First Nation, including respiratory and skin problems, are the visible consequences of poor housing. Such conditions are both preventable and unacceptable in our resource-rich country. They also have both immediate and long- term health consequences, including compromising children’s mental, developmental and social health. Inadequate housing has been linked with an increased risk for asthma, injury, and exposure to health hazards. Overcrowding is associated with a wider and faster spread of communicable diseases, such as lower respiratory tract infections and gastroenteritis. Children and youth living in crowded housing conditions also experience more mental health difficulties and problems in schools. We commend your swift action and commitment to invest in housing for Cat Lake as outlined in your interim framework agreement with First Nations leaders, including Cat Lake Chief Matthew Keewaykapow. However, we believe this agreement does not go nearly far enough. Like all children in Canada, the children of Cat Lake have a right to healthy home environments where they can live, play, and grow. The consequences of failing to meet this basic need are both acute and chronic, and will affect their current health and future life chances.

Consultation During the ToR The following describes the results of the public and Indigenous community consultation program that has been undertaken up to October 11, 2019. The ToR consultation activities are continuing through fall 2019 to spring 2020, including the release of this Draft ToR. The results of these ongoing consultation activities will be documented in the Final or “Proposed” ToR that will be submitted to MECP for an approval decision. These ongoing ToR consultation activities and inputs will also feed into the development of the EA Consultation program that is outlined in draft in Section 11. 10.1 Principles of Consultation A primary objective of the EA process, including the ToR development, is to effectively communicate information about the proposed CAR, and to consult with those who may be potentially affected by or have an interest in it. MFFN is committed to creating and sustaining constructive dialogue and relationships with interested persons including MFFN community membership, neighbouring Indigenous communities, government agencies, the public, industry, non-government organizations, and local and regional stakeholders, to support the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the proposed CAR. To honour the traditional lands that the CAR is proposed to be developed on and to respect MFFN traditional teachings5, the Guiding Principles presented in Figure 10-1 will be followed throughout all Project-related consultation activities and the full EA process; from preparation of the ToR to preparation of the EA and implementation of the CAR.
