The Government of Saskatchewan has approved the transfer of 336 hectares (829 acres) of mineral rights to the Cowessess First Nation as part of their Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) Settlement Agreement.
"The recent transfer of mineral rights to Cowessess First Nation is a significant step in supporting their continuing economic growth," Minister Responsible for First Nations, Métis Relations and Northern Affairs Don McMorris said. "We are committed to continue fulfilling our obligations under the Treaty Land Entitlement Agreements, which play a vital role in recognizing the rights of First Nations in Saskatchewan."
The Government of Saskatchewan has transferred approximately 29,019 hectares (71,707 acres) of Crown minerals to the federal government on behalf of the Cowessess First Nation.
This transfer is part of the ongoing efforts by the Government of Saskatchewan to fulfill its commitments under the TLE Agreements, reinforcing the province's dedication to reconciliation and strengthening relationships with First Nations.
The TLE Agreements provide First Nations with entitlement monies to purchase land anywhere in the province on a "willing buyer-willing seller" basis and add it to their reserves.
Under the terms of the TLE Agreements, all undisposed provincial Crown minerals underlying lands purchased by the First Nation are to be transferred at no cost to the Government of Canada for reserve creation.
The Ministry of Government Relations coordinates and manages the provincial implementation of the TLE Agreements between Canada, Saskatchewan and 36 First Nations. The recent transfer to Cowessess First Nation underscores Saskatchewan's commitment to economic reconciliation and the fulfillment of Treaty obligations.
The Government of Saskatchewan continues to work collaboratively with First Nation communities to fulfill land entitlement agreements and support community growth and development.
