Ontario tells Native woman to stop work on home off-reserve
Posted: Thursday, November 21, 2013
The province of Ontario has ordered a Native woman to stop building a home off the reserve.
Darlene Necan is building a home on her family's traditional hunting land. But she doesn't have a permit so she faces a $10,000 fine.
"Being homeless all the time, that kind of got to me," Necan told CBC News. "It seemed like society pushed me back on our land, and that's why I started building on our trapline."
Necan is from the Saugeen First Nation.
