Temagami Land Caution
The Temagami Land Caution was a territorial dispute in the Temagami area of Northeastern Ontario, Canada. It was applied in 1973 by the local Aboriginal community of Teme-Augama Anishnabai as a way of maintaining 10,000 km2 (3,900 sq mi) of land that they claimed as "n'Daki Menan", meaning "Our Land". Existing throughout much of the 1970s and 1980s, it effectively prevented all types of development on Crown land, such as mining. Crown land sales were also prohibited due to the Temagami Land Caution. In 1988, Vince Kerrio approved the expansion of Red Squirrel Road directly through the Temagami Land Caution. This prompted a series of roadblocks by the Teme-Augama Anishnabai and by environmentalists in 1988-1989. The Temagami Land Caution was lifted in 1995 as a result of a court order by the Supreme Court of Canada.
