A $30-million advance payment is being made to the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation against the future resolution of one of the nation’s outstanding land claims.
The agreement, announced by Chief Claire Sault of the MCFN and Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations Gary Anandasangaree on Sunday, deals with Treaty 22 and Treaty 23, which go back more than 200 years.
“Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation see this advance payment as a good-faith gesture by Canada and as evidence of its seriousness to finally settle this 205-year-old land claim,” said Sault in a news release.
