Teme-Augama Anishnabai

The ancestors of Teme-Augama Anishnabai have trapped and hunted animals in the Temagami region of Canada for over 5,000 years.

In 1988, the Ontario Minister of Natural Resources, Vince Kerrio approved the expansion of the Red Squirrel logging road, directly through Anishinaabe territory.

[2] In 1991, the Teme-Augama Anishnabai and the Ontario Government created the Wendaban Stewardship Authority to manage the four counties near the logging road.

In August 1991, the Teme-Augama Anishnabai lost the land caution, though it was determined that Ontario and Canada have an outstanding fiduciary obligation for unfulfilled Robinson Huron Treaty obligations to which the Teme-Augama Anishnabai have been illegally adhered to.

The Teme-Augama Anishnabai failed appeal in 1994 eventually lead to the land caution being lifted.
