Michipicoten First Nation [Pilot project]

Most of the land claims by the Michipicoten First Nation and the Michipicoten Pilot Project for Specific Claims stem from the 1850 Robinson-Superior Treaty and the rights of Michipicoten members to make a living that were granted by the treaty (such as hunting and fishing), and the reserve that was promised under the treaty, as well as numerous takings of land from the reserve.

Of the original 13 potential claims put forward under the pilot project process, four resulted in no claim being filed, three have been negotiated and settled, and three have been resolved through administrative referral. The last remaining claim is the boundary claim. Accepted for negotiation by Canada in 2003, the negotiating parties are undertaking joint land appraisals and loss-of-use studies.
