The final chapter of a land claim dating back more than 100 years has finally been closed.
On Monday, the Mosquito-Grizzly Bear s Head-Lean Man First Nation announced a final settlement with the federal government for $141 million, plus interest.
In January, the Specific Land Claims Tribunal gave the First Nation a $121 million settlement, acknowledging that the surrender of the land was invalid and that the Crown had breached its duties to the First Nation.
The increase in the settlement money came from the passage of time since the land was appraised in 2017, as well as loss of use stemming from the time of the appraisal.
