That land is not “stolen” or “shared,” and it is certainly not “theirs.”
The Bloodvein First Nation in north eastern Manitoba has decided that it will ban all non-indigenous hunters from entering a huge swath of Crown land surrounding its reserve. It has put up a blockade. This is clearly illegal, but this is how CBC reported the illegal action:
“Chief Young told CBC that Natural Resources and Indigenous Futures Minister Ian Bushie has been in contact with the First Nation. She said that the minister, along with other First Nations in the area like Poplar River and Berens River, support Bloodvein’s decision to limit hunters on it’s land.”
