HENVEY INLET FIRST NATION BAND COUNCIL RATIFICATION LAW
Date of open meeting of Council Tuesday, 28 January 2025 Location:
O&M Office 2 French River Reserve 13
Enacting Resolution Henvey Inlet First Nation Ratification Law
BACKGROUND
A. HIFN wishes to establish a custom-based process for the ratification by eligible voters of matters of importance to Henvey
Inlet First Nation in cases where no ratification process is prescribed by any other law.
What is the Indian Boarding Homes Class Action?
In the 1950s, the Indian Boarding Homes Program placed First Nations and Inuit children in private homes for the purpose of attending school. This Settlement provides compensation to people placed in these homes. You are a Primary Class Member if Canada placed you in a private home, between September 1, 1951 and June 30, 1992. You may still be eligible if you were placed after June 30, 1992. People who were placed in private homes, but died on or after July 24, 2016, may also be eligible, and their estate can apply on their behalf.
How can I know if I am eligible?
