Muskowekwan First Nation [1910 and 1920 surrenders]

This claim was submitted in 1992 and rejected in 1997, following which the First Nation made additional submissions to the Minister of Indian Affairs. In December 2003, the Commission accepted the First Nation’s request to conduct an inquiry. The inquiry concerns the First Nation’s claim respecting lands surrendered for the purpose of a townsite along the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. A planning conference was held in February 2005, and a community session was held in September 2005. A research project remains outstanding before the parties can proceed.
