Marten Falls insists on improved ‘nation-to-nation’ dialogue with government, greater say on how development unfolds
Martin Falls Chief Bruce Achneepineskum calls the community’s legal action against the federal and provincial governments, insisting on a halt of all development activity in the Ring of Fire, a “moral stand … (about) our ability to to live as a nation on our own terms.”
The remote, fly-in community, on the proposed route to the Far North mineral belt, is seeking an injunction to halt all work until a new “nation-to-nation dialogue” is established.
