The Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB) is updating members on the Treaty 6 Agricultural Benefits Specific Claim, commonly known as ‘cows and plows.’
According to a LLRIB press release, council has been lobbying the Minister of Crown Indigenous Relations and federal specific claims officials for several years to expedite a decision, but the government has not yet responded to a request to do so. It states there have been no changes since members were last updated about the claim previously.
Earlier this month, each Clearwater River Dene Nation member received a $44,000 payment as part of a $122 million cows and plows settlement.
“The Treaty 6 Agricultural Benefits Specific Claim, known as cows and plows, has not been validated, settled or paid out,” the release from the LLRIB states.
