To the Membership of Mishkeegogamang,
This notice is to inform you that there will be no Hydro Payment distribution on Wednesday December 4, 2013 as anticipated. There are a few issues that will need to be addressed before any distribution is done which make take a few days to a week.
At the present time, there are three options that can be utilized to do the distribution from direct deposit, preloaded credit card to a cheque. The recommended and most secure process is by direct deposit but it isn't limited to.
You can email, fax your banking information or address to any of the Chief and Council.
Thank you,
Chief and Council

Settlement Funds

Monday, October 21, 2013.
To the Community members of Mishkeegogamang,
The newest update on the settlement is that as of Friday, October 18, Justice Gans has signed the dismissal papers for the funds to be released to the First Nation.
The case needed to be dismissed before the transfer of the funds could be released to the First Nation.
As of today there hasn't been any decision made about the settlement funds, how they will be utilized and how much the payout to the membership will be. The draft that was on facebook was something that was produced by the account and was to be discussed which it hasn't. Majority of the funds will be put into trust which will be administered by trustees that will need to meet the criteria identified in the trust.
I thank you for your patience and I would like to stress that the time it took to get the funds was out of our hands and was in control of the presiding judge.

Canada Claim and Trustee

Tuesday,

To all Community members,
I thought I would give you an
update on the Canada Claim as well as the appointing of trustees for the Settlement
monies. As I updated last month, the two
levels of Government have signed off on the Settlement documents and they have
written to Justice Gans to have the lawsuit dismissed. We have not received any new updates and therefore we haven't updated.
We met with the lawyer that is working on the trust on Friday,
August 30, 2013 to discuss the trustees and membership criteria. The trust document has not been finalized
and will need to be ratified by membership before it is finalized. The appointment of trustees has not happened and we will continue accepting any person interested.
The trustees criteria that has been advertised is what the membership had
suggested at various meetings during the ratification of the settlement in
Thunder Bay, Pickle Lake, Mishkeegogamang, Sioux Lookout and Ignace.
The role of Trustee is an important position and the criteria will need to be strict and serious. The
appointment of trustees and forming of the trust will have no bearing or cause
delay on the per capita once the funds are released to the First Nation. Per Capita formula has not been set and will need to be discussed in further detail.
Thank you,
Michael
