Ontario First Nations seek to raise Canada's rent from current $4 per year

A total of 21 First Nations in northern Ontario are taking the Ontario and federal governments to court, accusing them of failing to uphold a key clause of a treaty their ancestors signed almost 150 years ago.

The Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850 states that First Nations people on the land, which spans an area from Sault Ste. Marie to North Bay and north to Kirkland Lake, would receive payments for any revenue generated from their territory. The treaty also stipulated that those payments would increase as revenues increased.
