The leadership of Driftpile Cree Nation (the "Nation") would like to share with its Members information that is sharable regarding our ongoing Agricultural Benefits claim, following the Community meeting on July 23, 2018, where leadership and the legal team for the Nation met with interested Band Members to give a brief overview of the current claim and to answer some questions regarding the Specific Claim process.

On August 14, 2018 the leadership and legal team for the Nation met with the Government of Canada and their negotiation team with a view to discussing what steps would be needed to be done after Step 1 is approved and in order to outline the respective roles and obligations of each of the parties throughout the pre-negotiation process; and to discuss the Negotiation Process with the Government of Canada in greater detail.

The nine (9) step Specific Claim Negotiation Process is attached to this Notice for our Members to review.

Currently, the Driftpile Cree Nation is awaiting the approval of Step 1 in the Specific Claim Negotiation Process, that is, the Claim is awaiting formal acceptance by the Government of Canada. While our leadership is hopeful that the Government of Canada will accept the Nation's Claim soon, there is unfortunately nothing that they can do to speed up the process and they request the continued patience and co-operation of the membership at this time.

Thank you.
