WINNIPEG A virtual sacred ceremony Friday between four First Nations and the Ontario government confirmed consent for the twinning of the Trans Canada Highway from the Manitoba-Ontario border to Highway 673. The four First Nations involved formed the Niiwin Wendaanimok Partnership in 2018, and include Wauzhushk Onigum First Nation, Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, Niisaachewan Anishinaabe Nation, and Washagamis Bay First Nation. “Today is a historic event, using Manito Aki Inakonigaawin as an essential part of the process,” said Grand Chief Francis Kavanaugh of the Ogichidaa Grand Council Treaty 3. “And perhaps it was the largest consultation effort ever done within a Treaty 3 territory.”
