On-going

Way Forward Commitment:

Our Government is intent on continuing to work with Indigenous Governments and Organizations to create the conditions for continued success. To this end, in 2017-18, our Government will continue to work with Indigenous Governments and Organizations and the Federal Government towards advancing and finalizing self-government agreements and towards advancing and finalizing land claims in the province.

What We’ve Accomplished:

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Innu Nation and the Federal Government are continuing negotiations towards a Final Land Claims Agreement, including the legal refinement of agreed text, the mapping of certain land claim areas, and the preparation of an Implementation Plan. The Parties meet monthly to advance negotiations expeditiously. The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s commitment to concluding the agreement is steadfast, and Government is exerting every effort to bring negotiations to a successful and timely conclusion.
