The Anishinabek Nation demands Indigenous consent and partnership in critical mineral mining, stressing treaty rights, sacred site protection, and shared benefits for project success.
The Anishinabek Nation, representing 39 First Nations in Ontario, stated at the 2025 PDAC Convention that mining projects, especially for critical minerals, require genuine, equitable partnerships with Indigenous communities.
They emphasized that success depends on full participation, Free, Prior, and Informed Consent, respect for treaties and UNDRIP, and protection of sacred sites, water, and ecosystems using Traditional Knowledge.
The Nation warned that ignoring these principles risks project failure, opposition, and illegitimacy, calling on governments, investors, and companies to build trust-based relationships grounded in shared benefit and Indigenous sovereignty.
