3 Innu communities in Quebec accuse the provincial government of reneging on a commitment to finalize the Petapan Treaty by March 31, 2023.
Three Innu communities in Quebec accuse the provincial government of bad faith in ongoing Petapan Treaty negotiations, stating that Quebec reneged on a commitment to finalize the treaty by March 31, 2023. The chiefs of Essipit, Pekuakamiulnuatsh, and Nutashkuan claim Quebec imposed a new deadline and demanded additional information. A year later, they are calling for a meeting with Premier François Legault and considering legal action. The Petapan Treaty aims to exempt the three Innu communities from the federal Indian Act, recognize their right to self-determination, and secure ancestral rights.
