Band members should be polled on how Atikameksheng handles its Robinson-Huron settlement funds, say critics who set up an information picket on the edge of the reserve on Tuesday.

“We want the right to vote on an important issue like this,” said Gail Shawbonquit, a former chief of the First Nation, on behalf of a group calling itself Atikameksheng Strong. “We need to have our say in how this money is going to be managed and dealt with.”

Earlier this year Atikameksheng received its share of a landmark settlement acknowledging First Nation signatories to the Robinson-Huron Treaty had been shortchanged for decades in the amount paid to members through annuities. 

Those payments had been frozen at a meagre $4 per person but should have gone up over the years in connection with revenues generated from resource extraction on native land, the First Nations argued. 

The Ontario Superior Court agreed and last year the parties in the legal dispute reached a deal that would deliver $10 billion from the provincial and federal governments to the 21 signatory First Nations.
