Jordan Hatton, Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabek FN Ep. 34

Show Notes

Down...but not out!

On this episode of the Land Decolonized podcast, Jordon Hatton shares the incredible comeback story of Bingwi Neyaashi Anishinaabeck, an Ojibwa First Nation in Ontario. Its land was taken by the province in the 1940s to make a provincial park, but was eventually returned so a new reserve could be created.

Jordan is Director of Economic Development. He shares the sad history of the dispossession, but the modern climate that saw the land returned, a reserve created, and a Land Code passed by the community in 2014.

Key topics:

• Location and history of Sand Point First Nation
• The rationale for signing onto the Framework Agreement on First Nation Land Management
• Key goals in community and land planning
• Forecasting potential economic opportunities and residential development
