FORT WILLIAM FIRST NATION — The newly-elected chief of Fort William First Nation says there's plenty of anticipation among community members about the eventual settlement of a long-standing claim by Robinson-Superior First Nations for increased treaty annuities from the federal and Ontario governments.
Since 1874, members of both treaty groups have received only $4 a year as their share of resource revenue from their traditional territories. "What's in question now in court is what is the amount that it [the annuity] should have been augmented by, based on resource extraction and things like that."One reason the settlements could be different, the chief said, is that the amounts and kinds of resources extracted in the two treaty areas have been different over the years.
