Taykwa Tagamou Nation, a Cree First Nation located within Treaty 9, has filed a statement of claim against the Province of Ontario and Newmont, a mining company that owns properties in Timmins.
Taykwa Tagamou Nation (TTN), a Cree First Nation located within Treaty 9, has filed a statement of claim against the Province of Ontario and Newmont, a mining company that owns properties in Timmins.
Chief Bruce Archibald said treaty promises are not being upheld and he’s calling on the company and the province to work with them in managing the cumulative impacts of mining activities.
Newmont’s Pamour Mine, located in the east end of Timmins, is one reason why Taykwa Tagamou Nation has filed a claim.
"It's focused towards one mine right now, but, you know, at the same time, with all the other operations that happened within the 101 corridor or within our traditional territory," Archibald said.
"We want to bring that to the forefront of all the activities that happened over the last 110 years when it comes to mining. So, we're hoping that, you know, this opens up the eyes of all the other proponents that are operating within our territory that haven't properly consulted our community."
Luke Hildebrand, an associate with Headwaters LLP, said the province and Newmont did not consult the First Nation about reopening Pamour.
