When an Innu Nation found it was short $1.6 million after paying wages retroactively to police force members after a salary arbitration award, the Nation sued #Quebec and #Canada.
The #Innu argued that renewal of the tripartite agreements for policing over the years was done without needed increased funding and that breached the honour of the #Crown.
A #Court of Appeal agreed. Now the Supreme Court will hear the case.
Murchison Minerals has been served an eviction notice not once, but twice by the Innu government for Uashat mak Mani-utenam.
The area the mining company states it is “eager” to explore is in Innu territory. Despite the “sheer number of high priority targets” identified and the “huge potential” of the Nickel-Copper-Cobalt project in Quebec, the Innu are determined to keep Murchison out.
I just watched "L'étoile du Nord" (North Star) documentary mini series on the NFB/ONF of Canada website. It is excellent and I found Laurie Rousseau-Nepton to be very inspiring.
"Laurie Rousseau-Nepton is a young, Quebec-born Innu astrophysicist who’s leading a massive research project at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope.
Drawing on a worldview rooted in a love of nature, as well as her talents as a science communicator, she shares her passion for the study of celestial objects. Ranging from Ashuapmushuan to Wendake, Hawaii and Mont-Mégantic, Laurie’s inspiring journey will leave viewers starry-eyed."
