On June 25, the First Nation received a response from Ontario indicating it wasn't consulted on any of the exploration permits because it only allowed mining activities outside the boundaries of Grassy Narrows traditional territory, the legal documents say.

But the province was relying on a map with old boundaries from the 1980s, Fobister said.

"Some areas in our territory weren't in the map. They said they didn't know that was part of Grassy territory, but that's not true at all."

The chief said the First Nation has been submitting maps to Ontario with updated boundaries to its territory throughout the 2000s.

Interesting strategy. Is that all it takes to expand territoy, just create new maps? Should there not be a mediation process for this?
