Fishing Lake First Nation will move forward with changes to a trust agreement that’s worth millions of dollars.

The land claim trust dates back to 1907, and was settled nearly 15 years ago. At the time it was worth $34.5 million.

A vote on the weekend sought to change the 1907 Surrender Trust Agreement.

Fishing Lake’s chief says the goal was to make it easier for the band to use funds for band activities and programs.

Its membership opted in favour of the amendments, with 487 people in favour, and 22 voting ‘no.’

Information sessions had previously been held regarding the trust.

Fishing Lake is in the Wadena area.
