The Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation lawsuits Alberta and Canada over independence referendum, citing treaty rights and illegal process.
The Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation has sued Alberta’s government and federal authorities over plans for a referendum on provincial independence, arguing that Treaty 8 requires their consent—not just consultation—for any changes to the province’s status.
The nation claims Alberta and separatist groups conspired to enable an unlawful petition, including alleged foreign interference from the Trump administration, and seeks an injunction to halt the process.
The lawsuit cites a prior court ruling stating Alberta cannot unilaterally replace Canada as a treaty party, calling secession a "legal impossibility."
The case centers on Indigenous rights, treaty obligations, and constitutional authority.
