FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Treaty Nations Condemn the First Nations Summit Meeting that will Unilaterally Promote Resource Exploitation and Reaffirm Sovereignty Over Ancestral Lands
July 16, 2025
(Unceded Algonquin Territory, Ottawa, ON) — As descendants of Peoples who entered into peace and friendship Treaties with the Crown to allow for the Queen’s subjects to live in our territories,
we reject this national stage managed gathering, referred to as the “First Nations Summit” being organized by Canada. Last minute invites, last minute agendas, last minute speaking times – all
designed to give the Queen’s subjects the idea that we agree. This is a lie. It is manufactured to paint a false picture.
