Anishinabek Nation chief warns pipeline threatens treaties

Anishinabek Nation criticizes the proposed Northern Shield pipeline, calling it an "assault on treaties" due to a lack of consultation. The 3,300-kilometer pipeline from Alberta to Ontario was announced without meaningful discussion with affected First Nations, according to Grand Council Chief Linda Debassige. Debassige warned of direct action if governments do not respect treaty rights and engage in genuine dialogue with Indigenous partners on major infrastructure projects.
