The so\u002Dcalled 2019 Durocher case over the loss of northern lands in Alberta and Saskatchewan, includes 39 Saskatchewan plaintiffs.
The Metis Nation of Alberta says the move proves that it speaks for Alberta’s Metis and that the provincial government’s dealings with breakaway groups should stop.
It sought compensation for the loss of a vast amount of land in the northern reaches of the two provinces through the issuance of scrip certificates to Metis around the turn of the last century.The available land, however, was far from the Metis homelands. Much scrip was bought by speculators for pennies on the dollar from people who didn’t understand the deal they were making.
In addition to 10 individuals, the groups withdrawing from the legal action are the Metis associations in Athabasca Landing, Fort McKay, Lakeland, Willow Lake, Owl River and Conklin. The 17th plaintiff, Chard Metis Dene Inc., has been dissolved.Article content “Justice requires that any benefits that come from litigation or a negotiated settlement will be for the benefit of all of the descendants of Metis scrip, not just a few self-appointed individuals and private corporations they control.”
Neither the lawyer for the breakaway groups nor their representatives could be immediately reached for comment.Article content
