Working collaboratively to renew relationships and to right historical wrongs is key to advancing reconciliation with First Nations in Canada.
August 10, 2021 — Peepeekisis Cree Nation, Saskatchewan — Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada
Working collaboratively to renew relationships and to right historical wrongs is key to advancing reconciliation with First Nations in Canada.
Today, Chief Francis Dieter and the Honourable Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations, announced that the Peepeekisis Cree Nation and the Government of Canada have concluded their negotiated settlement to resolve the File Hills Colony Specific Claim.
The century-old claim concerned Canada’s breach of fiduciary obligations when it implemented the File Hills Farm Colony Scheme with its first transfer and settlement of industrial school graduates onto the Peepeekisis Cree Nation’s reserve without the informed and willing consent of Peepeekisis Cree Nation in 1898. The Colony Scheme included providing parcels of prime agricultural Peepeekisis reserve lands without the Nation’s consent. In creating and implementing the Colony Scheme, Canada breached its fiduciary duty to the Nation by failing to protect the Nation’s interest in the land and not providing any compensation to the Nation. The historic and ongoing harm that the Colony Scheme caused to the Peepeekisis Nation created community divisions and animosity between families and members. The legacy of the Colony Scheme continues to impact the Nation to this day.
Under the settlement, Canada will provide Peepeekisis Cree Nation with $150 million in total compensation, with the option to acquire up to 18,720 acres of land and for said land to be added to reserve in accordance with all applicable laws and Canada’s policies and procedures respecting reserve creation.
“In 1986, 35 years ago we submitted the File Hills Colony Specific Claim. The struggle for some measure of justice has been long and difficult. As we celebrate the File Hills Colony Settlement Agreement, it is important that we acknowledge and remember our elders and members who lived through this dark chapter of our Nation. They have paved the way by contributing invaluable testimony and truths, which have led us to this success today and for our future generations.”
Chief Enock Poitras,
Peepeekisis Cree Nation
“Peepeekisis Cree Nation was always determined to get a fair resolution and after a long battle, I am relieved that we have reached a Settlement Agreement for the File Hills Colony Specific Claim. Our community has suffered harms but we are a strong people and the Settlement Agreement will allow the Nation to make significant community investments for both today and tomorrow and improve the lives of all community members. It is important that Canadians know this history and the truths of the File Hills Colony Specific Claim.”
Chief Beverly Bellegarde,
