With just three weeks until Manitoba’s general moose opener, a First Nation in the province says it is barring non-Native hunters from hunting in its territory.
The Bloodvein First Nation erected the first no-trespassing signs on Saturday, setting the stage for a legal conflict with other hunters and the provincial government. During a press conference over the weekend, the First Nation said the blockade would apply to non-indigenous hunters anywhere on the Bloodvein’s traditional lands, which lie along the eastern shore of Lake Winnipeg. The no-trespassing signs also include fishing and trapping in the bans. Its leaders have also called on the Manitoba government to stop issuing hunting licenses within the territory.
