The Chiefs of Ontario (COO) have adopted a resolut The Chiefs of Ontario (COO) have adopted a resolution at the 2025 Annual Chiefs Assembly, calling on the Governments of Canada and Ontario to uphold their legal, political, and ethical responsibilities by providing adequate, predictable, and sustainable funding to support the healing journeys of residential school Survivors and the protection of associated unmarked graves and burial sites. The resolution, moved by Chief Cheryl St Denis of Brunswick House First Nation and seconded by Proxy Councillor Marla Monague of Beausoleil First Nation, reinforces the urgent need for all levels of government to take immediate and concrete action to address the ongoing healing needs of residential school survivors and their communities. “First Nations continue to lead the difficult but necessary work of truth, remembrance, and healing for our people,” said Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict. “This work cannot—and should not—be impeded by unstable funding, bureaucratic barriers, or political inaction. The legacy of genocide through the residential school system requires an equally powerful response rooted in justice, truth, and reconciliation.” The resolution reaffirms the Chiefs of Ontario’s firm support for all of the obligations outlined in the Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and Burial Sites 2024 Final Report. The Chiefs in assembly also raised concern over recent provincial legislation—Bill 5: Protecting Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act—which could allow the Ontario Cabinet to bypass legal protections currently in place under the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act. This could very likely threaten burial sites including the graves of children who never returned home from residential school. We have seen for centuries what happens when our sites are not protected. Our Ancestors are discarded or hidden because of the inconvenience and delay they cause developers. Bill 5 permits, whether intentional or not, the desecration of our sacred sites and allows for nefarious actors to conceal our Ancestors when uncovered... Read the full release via link in bio.

June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day! This June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day! This past week, we gathered in Hiawatha First Nation for the Annual Chiefs Assembly and celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Chiefs of Ontario. It was an honour to celebrate our past Regional Chiefs who have fought to uphold our inherent rights and strengthen our Nations. Thank you to all to Leadership, Nations, and community members who continue to advocate for sovereignty and self-determination. We encourage everyone to celebrate today by attending the many local events and gatherings happening throughout the weekend.
As the Annual Chiefs Assembly comes to a close, it As the Annual Chiefs Assembly comes to a close, it was proudly marked by the introduction of the 2S Council, a Tri-Council statement by the First Nations Women’s Council, Knowledge Keepers Council, and Ontario First Nations Young People’s Council, along with updates and reviews. Congratulations to the winners of the COO communications prize draw! #COOACA2025
“Canada speaks publicly about nation-to-nation r “Canada speaks publicly about nation-to-nation relationships and truth and reconciliation. But this bill is about exercising power over the First Peoples and our lands and resources. Bill C-5 is not reconciliation—it’s a betrayal of it. Reconciliation is not symbolic, and it means atoning for colonial harms. But with Bill C-5, Canada is preparing to repeat those harms yet again,” said Temagami Chief Shelly Moore-Frappier. “We are painted as barriers and the government is trying to force our compliance. Let me be clear, weaponizing the economy to repress First Nations rights is economic terrorism. It is coercion, plain and simple. It has not place in a country that claims to stand for justice.” Ramon Kataquapit, Ontario First Nations Young Peoples’ Council member from Attawapiskat First Nation says this moment is an opportunity for youth to rise and stand up for their Nations. He is among a group of collective youth councils starting a movement called Okiniwak, which means the Warrior Peoples’ Movement. “This will grow across Canada. We’re the generation to make change. A lot of our older generations are scared, they’re traumatized from a life of fighting,” said Kataquapit. “But not to worry, because we’re here. We will continue your fight and ensure our peoples and lands are strong, healthy and prosperous for generations to come.” Cutting corners on environmental laws will lead to oil spills, mercury poisoning, unsafe drinking water, and irreparable harm to the lands and all living beings. Anishinabek Nation Grand Council Chief Linda Debassige said First Nations need to stand in unity across Turtle Island to show their strength and support one another. “The Indian Act, residential schools—those were all things designed to silence us and make us fearful of the government. It still hasn’t worked. We’re still here,” said Grand Council Chief Debassige. “We cannot continue to live in oppression and feel powerless over things that we can change. There are 343 seats in Parliament—but there are hundreds of thousands of Anishinabek people. We can create the change we need.” Read the full statement via the link in bio.
