Muskotew Sakahikan Enowuk, the traditional Government of the Lubicon Lake Nation

November 20, 2018

Muskotew Sakahikan Enowuk, the traditional Government of the Lubicon Lake Nation, outlined a number of remaining concerns faced by the First Nation, despite a recently announced Treaty Land Entitlement Settlement between Lubicon Lake Band #453 (the “Band”), Alberta and Canada. The Nation is the traditional governance structure of the Lubicon Cree people which has functioned for hundreds of years and is separate from the Lubicon Lake Band #453 which was only recently created by Canada under the authority of the Indian Act in 1973 and revived in 2013.
