"The #SturgeonLakeCreeNation has filed a legal claim challenging the approval of a separatist petition in #Alberta, arguing that any move toward separation from Canada cannot proceed without the consent of #FirstNations.

"In a statement released Friday, the First Nation said it has filed a Statement of Claim in the Alberta Court of King’s Bench against the Alberta government, the federal government and Alberta’s Chief Electoral Officer.

"The claim alleges a failure to uphold and implement Treaty No. 8 and argues the approval of the petition violates treaty rights."
