Treaty signing marks start of real work for Alberta’s Lubicon, says chief
EDMONTON — Alberta’s Lubicon Cree have been fighting for decades for a land they could call their own.
But as he’s poised to finally sign the historic claim with Premier Rachel Notley, Lubicon Lake Chief Billy-Joe Laboucan said the real work is just beginning.
“It’ll be a good start to what we need to do in this community,” said Laboucan, who will make the deal official Tuesday.
“There’s so much work to be done — the real work happens now.”
