A statement from Batchewana First Nation: Batchewana First Nation received a letter from the Indian Registrar at Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) advising that three individuals were mistakenly registered under the Indian Act and added to the Batchewana First Nation membership list. ISC has indicated they are taking steps to correct this error. However, under the principles of procedural fairness, the individuals involved have been given 90 days to provide any additional information that may support their registration before a final decision is made by ISC. Due to Privacy Act restrictions, ISC is currently unable to release the names of these individuals to Batchewana First Nation until the process is complete. Following review of this information, Chief and Council met on March 9, 2026, and discussed the potential implications for Robinson Huron Treaty settlement distributions. Since our Nation has not yet been informed who these individuals are or when they were added to the membership list, there is a risk that settlement funds could be distributed in error. Based on current estimates, this could represent approximately $351,000 in payments. To protect the integrity of the settlement funds for Batchewana First Nation members, Chief and Council have passed a motion to temporarily pause all Robinson Huron Treaty payments until ISC confirms the names and final status of the individuals identified in their review. Administration has contacted the Indian Registrar to request clarification and will continue to follow up. Should it be determined that payments were issued to individuals who are not members, BFN will take immediate steps, including any available legal avenues, to recover those funds on behalf of our Nation. Further updates will be shared as soon as additional information is received from Indigenous Services Canada. Miigwetch, Batchewana First Nation Chief and Council

Same for today too.

Run-on sentences occur when two or more independent clauses are incorrectly joined without proper punctuation or conjunctions. They can be fixed by separating them into two different dance categories at separate powwows.

I love how the Oglala are handling this travesty of a situation with ICE detaining our Native relatives in a strong arm attempt to force an immigration agreement.

I believe that every Native leader who homeland security attempts to make enter into an immigration agreement via
