The Sturgeon Lake First Nation settled its Treaty Land Entitlement (TLE) claim with the federal and provincial governments in 2009. Crosby Hanna & Associates was hired to help the First Nation develop a Treaty Land Entitlement Resource Manual that included overall strategic economic development goals and objectives, a formal TLE decision making process, an articulation of Sturgeon Lake community values and interests, a code of conduct, and a “Due Diligence Workbook”.
