An Algonquin First Nation has filed a title claim in Quebec Superior Court over large swaths of territory across the west of the province in an effort to address what it described as historic injustices against its peoples. Jean-Guy Whiteduck, chief of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation, says his people need to have a say in the way water, wildlife and forestry are managed in their traditional territory. He said that meaningful reconciliation can’t exist until that happens. …Whiteduck says the lawsuit only covers areas that are owned or managed by governments… The Aboriginal title claim covers … just over 8,000 square kilometres of land. …Lawyer, Jullian Riddel, said the case has the potential to set a major precedent, making Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg the first Indigenous community in the province to see its title over its traditional territories recognized by the court. …He said so far only four First Nations, all in British Columbia, have reached that milestone.
