Ochapowace First Nation is asking the federal government to be allowed to separate back into two first nations.
The two existed when Treaty 4 was signed in 1874 and were later combined into one.
The chief of Ochapowace says the first nation has gone to court to correct a wrong done by the federal government in the 1870’s, since the two first nations were combined without consulting Indigenous leaders.
On Monday, a hearing focused on the signing of Treaty 4. Historian Kenton Storey testified about how Treaty 4 was formed and the division of land among first nations. He also said that many Indigenous people were starving when the treaty was signed because the buffalo population was depleted.
