Sipekne’katik First Nation bans Premier and two cabinet ministers from band lands – 101.5 The Hawk
Dec 10, 2025
Sipekne’katik First Nation has passed a band council resolution formally banning Premier Tim Houston, Justice Minister and Attorney General Scott Armstrong, and Minister of L’nu Affairs Leah Martin from all Sipekne’katik lands.
The resolution declares the three provincial officials “undesirables” and applies to all reserve lands overseen by the band’s elected leadership. The First Nation says the province has no jurisdiction on reserve lands and that any trespassing would be subject to a fine of 50,000 dollars.
In the release, Chief Michelle Glasgow accused the premier of failing to engage with the community during his time in office, and raised concerns about provincial laws and appointments related to Mi’kmaw rights and L’nu affairs.
