26. The Right to Hunt and Fish
|
![]()
|
Archaeological sites reveal that the Iroquois were resident in what is today Ontario prior to A.D. 1000.
From 1640-1680, the Iroquois conquered Indian Tribes living in the Ohio Valley.
By 1700, the Five Nations had conquered the hunting grounds North of Lakes Erie and Lake Ontario by right of conquest over the Huron, Petun and Neutral Indians and also claimed the northern territory by Treaty with the North-Western Algonquians, who in 1700 had agreed to hold hunting grounds in common with the Five Nations.
By deed of July 19, 1701, the Five Nations formally placed their beaver hunting grounds, being a portion of their hunting territory, under the protection of British.
From 1644-1982, many agreements, treaties, instructions and proclamations were issued by Government Officials which guaranteed Six Nations right to free trade and protection of their hunting territory.
ALLEGATIONS
Six Nations aboriginal and treaty right to hunt and fish is recognized and affirmed by Section 35(1) of the Constitution Act (1982). Six Nations have never ceded these rights to anyone whomsoever.
The Crown in Right of Canada cannot delegate the governance of Six Nations hunting and fishing rights to the Provinces without first seeking Six Nations concurrence through consultation.
All Provincial charges which interfere with the constitutionally protected hunting and fishing rights of the Six Nations are ultra vires (beyond the legal capacity of a person or legal entity) and the Crown in right of Canada should direct their Provincial counterpart to withdraw all such charges.
