The First Nation was previously granted an injunction to prevent mineral exploration in an area it has declared to be sacred
THUNDER BAY — A court hearing scheduled for this Friday in Toronto will determine whether Ginoogaming First Nation is granted an interlocutory injunction to prevent mineral exploration in part of its traditional territory pending the outcome of a lawsuit against Ontario and two mining companies.
The judge observed in her ruling that the government's argument, in other words, was that "Ginoogaming will not accept any accommodation." In an interview, the First Nation's lawyer, Kate Kempton, said that on the judge's instructions "an attempt was made" to discuss an accommodation for Ginoogaming's concerns, but its position is that "this is sacred land, and you can't have any exploration there."
She said that although $80 million is the figure attached to the claim, actual damages have yet to be determined.
