Land, Resources & Environment

Effective October 1, 2029, pursuant to the Land Code, Sheshegwaning is the governing body responsible for ensuring the environmental protection of Sheshegwaning Indian Reserve No. 20. Under our Land Code, Sheshegwaning is accountable to our membership for ensuring our reserve lands are adequately protected for the benefit of our community and can be held liable for any failures to uphold our duties with respect to environmental governance.


The Framework Agreement provides Sheshegwaning with all the legal status and powers needed to govern and manage our First Nation and natural resources. 

It has given us Law-Making Powers in respect of the development, conservation, protection, management, use and possession of First Nation Land. This includes laws on zoning, land use, interest and licenses, environment assessment and protection, services, dispute resolution, and matrimonial real property.


Land Management: in accordance with our Land Code and First Nations laws, Sheshegwaning has jurisdiction over decision-making in relation to the land, environment and natural resources, including leasing, developing, managing revenues and authorizing expenditures. 


Registration of Interests: The First Nation Lands Register and guiding regulation were established to record documents respecting First Nation Land for First Nations with a Land Code in force.
