Northern Ontario First Nations report rising crime after $10B treaty payments began; appeal over $510M legal fees to be heard in 2026.
First Nation leaders in northern Ontario report a spike in crime, drug trafficking, and scams after $10 billion in Robinson Huron Treaty payments began in August 2024, with police citing increased violence and organized crime infiltration.
Meanwhile, Garden River and Atikameksheng Anishnawbek First Nations are appealing a 2025 court decision that slashed $510 million in legal fees to $23 million, seeking $255 million instead.
The appeal, set for fall 2026, hinges on whether the trial judge made legal or factual errors, with a decision expected by spring 2027.
The outcome could determine if most of the funds are returned to the 21 First Nation communities.
