The Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (Big Trout Lake) First Nation is being sued for more than $10 billion by a Canadian mining company, Platinex Inc., because they have made a stand to protect their treaty and aboriginal rights pending resolution of their legal dispute with the federal and provincial governments. The mining company attempted to proceed despite the community consensus against the project which is now seeking a court order to proceed despite the failure by the Provincial government to consult with KI.

Members of KI are coming to Toronto by foot – more than 2,000 kilometres – in order to raise awareness and support. You can get more info and keep in touch with the “Kitchenuhmaykoosib Awareness Walk: our land, our children our future” through the links below:
