"The #SturgeonLakeCreeNation has filed a legal claim challenging the approval of a separatist petition in #Alberta, arguing that any move toward separation from Canada cannot proceed without the consent of #FirstNations.

"In a statement released Friday, the First Nation said it has filed a Statement of Claim in the Alberta Court of King’s Bench against the Alberta government, the federal government and Alberta’s Chief Electoral Officer.

"The claim alleges a failure to uphold and implement Treaty No. 8 and argues the approval of the petition violates treaty rights."

#SturgeonLake #CreeNation files claim over #separatist petition in #Alberta. Yet ANOTHER roadblock to stand in the way of the #UCP and #DanielleSmith! #AlbertaISCanadian! 🇨🇦 #Cdnpoli #ABpoli #Ableg

"The watershed is located in #Treaty8 territory and across the #Métis Nation of #Alberta Regions 4, 5, and 6. Almost 175,000 people live along the 1,900 kilometers of rivers that flow north into the Northwest Territories. The nearest #FirstNation to the project, #SturgeonLake #CreeNation, wrote an open “cease and desist” letter to Alberta’s premier saying it learned of the project through the media."

#SturgeonLake #CreeNation (#SLCN) Chief Sheldon Sunshine said he learned about the project through social media, despite the project being proposed for the Nation’s traditional lands.

“It seems like it was all worked on well before us, and then we’re an afterthought, and it should never be that way,” said Sunshine in an interview.
