Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation [Crawford Purchase]
The First Nation claims that compensation was never paid for lands that the government took improperly in 1783. It also alleges that the government breached its fiduciary duty and that the First Nation suffered damages from misrepresentation and equitable fraud in the government’s failure to compensate the First Nation for its interest in the land. A planning conference was held in July 1998. In September 1998, the First Nation requested that the claim be put in abeyance while its Toronto Purchase claim is under consideration. The Toronto Purchase claim remains in negotiation.
