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?

Important Notice About RHT Per Capita Distribution (PCD) Payments
We understand that many Members have questions or concerns about why they will, or will not, receive an RHT Per Capita Distribution (PCD) payment. This notice is intended to clearly explain who is eligible for a payment, why only some Members receive one, and why others do not.
Why the HIFN PCD Trust Was Created
The HIFN PCD Trust – RHT Annuities Settlement was created by HIFN Council to distribute a maximum of 1,327 one-time PCD payments to eligible HIFN Members (1,206 Original Enrolled Members plus 121 additional PCDs approved by Council to include Members whose registrations were completed shortly after the Trust was settled).
Because the Trust was funded to pay the 1,206 registered Original Enrolled Members as of September 9, 2023, along with 121 additional PCDs for Members who became registered after September 9, 2023, not every post-September 9, 2023 registered Member can receive a payment.
