"In 1999, the Union of Ontario Indians implements trapping licencing system establishing the Anishinabek Nation Trapping Authority and began negotations with Ontario and Canada.
The Trapping Harmonization Agreement between Canada, Ontario and Anishinabek Nation was officially signed in 2005, for five years. This historic signing means that the UOI will be taking administrative responsibility for the issuing of trapping licences for its member communities, however it continues a partnership with both the federal and provinicial governments to reslove long standing issues as required.
The priniciples that guide the implementation of the Anishinabek Harmonization Trapping Agreement are respect for and promotion of the cultural and traditional harvesting activities of the Anishinabek people and harmonization of the UOI and the Ministry systems."
