In Anishinabek News
- October 2016: The organization signed a historic Agreement-in-Principle with the federal government in October 2016. The group is working toward a final treaty to resolve a land claim covering 36,000 square kilometers in eastern Ontario. The agreement aims to create new economic partnerships and opportunities for the group.[2]
- April 2022: The Algonquins of Ontario partnered with the Taggart Group to establish a new scholarship for students from their member communities. The organization is comprised of ten communities working together to reach a settlement regarding an Algonquin land claim. The group is represented by 16 negotiation representatives, including the leadership of Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation.[3]
- June 2022: The organization was omitted from the new cultural protocol between the City of Ottawa and the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation. It is a partner in the Tewin development project, which faced opposition from several Algonquin chiefs. The group includes the Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn First Nation and status and non-status Algonquins residing in Ontario.[1]
