Lucky Man Cree [Treaty land entitlement - Phase II]
In March 1997, the Commission issued a report on Phase I of this inquiry, recommending that 1887 be used as the date of first survey (DOFS) of IR 116, for calculating the Lucky Man Band’s treaty land entitlement population. The panel recommended that the parties undertake further research and paylist analysis to establish Lucky Man’s correct DOFS population. Canada accepted the Commission’s recommendations and submitted its further research in February 1998. The First Nation responded with its own research submission in June 2002, which Canada rejected in November 2003. In December 2003, at the First Nation’s request, the Commission agreed to open a second phase of the inquiry into the issue of the DOFS population. A planning conference was held in April 2004 and a second planning conference in January 2005. The oral hearing in this inquiry was held in August 2005. A further evidentiary hearing was held in October 2006. The panel is completing its report.
