Niisaachewan Anishinaabe Nation, located near Kenora, has settled a long-standing flooding claim with the federal and provincial governments for $83 million.
The Niisaachewan Anishinaabe Nation has reached a settlement worth roughly $83 million with the provincial and federal governments in a historic flooding claim.
The compensation and apologies addressed the impacts of flooding caused by the Rollerway and Norman dams, built in the late 1800s. Chief Lorraine Cobiness of the Niisaachewan Anishinaabe Nation said Wednesday's ceremonies “were so sacred and beautiful and inclusive and hopeful." She said her people were shocked when they heard federal minister for Crown-Indigenous Relations Marc Miller apologize in Anishnaabemowin, the language of their community.
Cobiness said the apology from provincial Minister of Indigenous Affairs and Kenora-Rainy River MPP Greg Rickford was also touching.
