Chiefs sign agreement to halt "Nova Scotia process" talks temporarily

The chiefs involved in a recent hunger strike, admitted on Tuesday that there was a miscommunication with the Idle No More movement.

In a report provided by the Media Co-Op, the heads of two First Nations communities in Nova Scotia ended their 11 day hunger strike on Monday. They were protesting to what is known as the "Made in Nova Scotia" process.

Every cheif affected by this process signed an agreement on Tuesday that ensures the Idle No Move will be notified of any future negotiations and settlements.

While they didn't opt out of the process, they did agree on halting the negotiations until their communities are better educated on what is at stake.

The "Nova Scotia process" is considered a threat to existing treaties related to land claims with the federal government, which has been implemented in the last year throughout Canada as well.
