Algonquin Anishinabe Nation and Senators Sports & Entertainment Joint Statement

After many years of talks and negotiations, real progress is being made on one of the biggest partnerships ever created. These achievements are the result of years of negotiation, by a unified Algonquin negotiation team led by the Chiefs and Councilors of Pikwakanagan and the Algonquin First Nations in present day Quebec. Such a partnership with a professional hockey team could be the first of its kind for any First Nation in Canada. These business ventures are expected to provide significant revenue for Pikwakanagan as we develop those land parcels and link them to the Ottawa Sens business franchise. That revenue is forecasted to be substantial, ongoing and will provide much needed financial support for our own Algonquin self determination and self sufficiency.
