*Six Nations formally submitted two additional claims in 1995. Canada refused to accept these two additional claims for review under their Specific Claims Policy.
As of January 31, 1995, all of the above noted claims files were closed by Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). These claims were NOT rejected. Thus, INAC systematically prevented Six Nations from referring these claims to the Indian Claims Commission as an alternative forum to pursue negotiated settlements.
