The Government of Canada and Red Earth Cree Nation announced they have signed a co-developed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to advance discussions toward developing a stand-alone administration of justice agreement. This MOU on Advancing Reconciliation will guide future exploratory discussions on the administration of justice needs and aspirations of Red Earth Cree Nation. An administration of justice agreement could outline in practical and meaningful ways how an Indigenous community assumes control for the management of justice. For example, discussion could focus on the enforcement and adjudication of Red Earth Cree’s laws, as well as how they relate to federal and provincial laws.
