Six Nations 'Ready to Negotiate' for 'Perpetual Care'

In a press release to The Hamilton Spectator, Six Nations Elected Council Chief, William Montour states that "The only land settlement that the Six Nations Elected Council will support is a global settlement that, by modern treaty, secures our perpetual care and maintenance for basic services such as education, health, social and public infrastructure."
"Further, any lands that become available," Montour goes on to say, "must revert to Six Nations title.....In addition the Six Nations Elected Council will not settle any land right for money and then sign a paper that absolves Canada of any future obligation to negotiate further grievances."

Chief Montour makes it clear to the community precisely what the Minister of Indian Affairs and the people of Canada are being asked to deliver ~ "perpetual care."
