Carry the Kettle First Nation [1905 Surrender]

The First Nation claims that a surrender of 5,760 acres of the Assiniboine reserve taken in 1905 is invalid.

Its claim was rejected, and in 1994 the Commission began an inquiry into the claim. The community session was held in October 1995. In August 1998, the First Nation requested that the claim be put in abeyance until the Commission completed its inquiry into the Cypress Hills claim. The report on that inquiry was released by the Commission in July 2000. In October 2004, the First Nation requested that the Commission resume the inquiry into the surrender.

A staff visit was held in October 2005 and a community session was conducted in July 2006. An oral hearing is expected for fall 2007.
