Algonquins In West Quebec Prepare To Launch Biggest Land Claim In Canada's History

Largest Native Land Claim In Canada's History Set For Launch

A group of Algonquins in West Quebec is preparing to launch what could be the largest land claim in Canada's history -- for a swath of territory covering 650,000 square kilometres across Eastern Ontario and West Quebec.

Stretching from Sault Ste. Marie and Cochrane in Northern Ontario through much of Eastern Ontario, including Ottawa, the territory cuts across West Quebec to Montreal, and all the way to the confluence of the Saint-Maurice and St. Lawrence rivers at Trois-Rivières. About two-thirds of the land is in Quebec.
