The head of the Anishinabek Nation says last week’s majority win for the Liberals should bode well for First Nations. Pat Madahbee says Premier-elect Kathleen Wynne can now ensure that the Ring if Fire creates wealth and jobs for Aboriginal people. He adds Wynne can also make sure that the chromite mines are developed in a way that protect traditional lands. Madahbee also says the Liberals should expedite action on more than 100 recommendations from the Ipperwash Inquiry which followed the death of First Nation protestor Dudley George. The Grand Council Chief also expects movement on co-management deals involving natural resources.
