The so\u002Dcalled Durocher case, filed in 2019, was brought by 17 Métis groups and individuals in Alberta and another 39 similar plaintiffs from Saskatchewan on…
The Metis Nation of Alberta says the move proves that it speaks for Alberta’s Metis and that the provincial government’s dealings with breakaway groups should stop.
The available land, however, was far from the Metis homelands. Much scrip was bought by speculators for pennies on the dollar from people who didn’t understand the deal they were making. In addition to 10 individuals, the groups withdrawing from the legal action are the Metis associations in Athabasca Landing, Fort McKay, Lakeland, Willow Lake, Owl River and Conklin. The 17th plaintiff, Chard Metis Dene Inc., has been dissolved.
“Justice requires that any benefits that come from litigation or a negotiated settlement will be for the benefit of all of the descendants of Metis scrip, not just a few self-appointed individuals and private corporations they control.”
