Supreme Court Rules Crown Violated Robinson Treaties for 150 Years with $4 Payments
Jul 26, 2024, 02:14 PM
The Supreme Court of Canada has issued a unanimous decision in the Robinson Treaties case, ruling that the Crown violated revenue-sharing agreements with two First Nations for over 150 years. The court found that the Crown made a 'mockery' of the treaties and dishonourably breached treaty promises by making inadequate $4 payments. The decision follows a $10 billion settlement agreement reached last year between the Huron plaintiffs and the federal and provincial governments, which will share the compensatory costs. The ruling does not award a new settlement but mandates that Canada and the provinces owe billions to the First Nations for the 'egregious' treaty violations.
