- The Government and settlers in the area of the Michel band’s reserve subsequently illegally pressured band members to surrender their land;
- The Government of Canada and the Department of Indian Affairs illegally enfranchised the members of the Michel Band in 1958, and are denying treaty and inherent rights of Michel band members and their descendants; and
- Crown and Indigenous relations are failing to uphold and to honour the Treaty and inherent rights of Michel Band members and are denying treaty benefits of status, education, housing, land and revenue and resource sharing.
