We have been compiling a cumulative environmental effects assessment for the upcoming federal-provincial hearings respecting the application of mining giant Stillwater Canada to create a series of open pit mines within the traditional territory that Pic Mobert has shared with other Aboriginal communities for hundreds of years. Located within the 1850 Robinson-Superior Treaty area, the reserve lands are located north of Puskaskwa National Park and are adjacent to White Lake Provincial Park. The ancestors of current day community members sustained themselves physically, culturally and spiritually by hunting and harvesting the bounty of the vast lands and waters of their traditional territory with community members travelling far afield in the process.
