Chief Lorraine Cobiness emphasizes the shift in mindset among Indigenous communities and settler partners, stating, "We are of a very similar mindset now, where we're sitting at the table as equals, not as somebody just coming in the room." This statement reflects how collaboration has evolved towards mutual respect and recognition of shared responsibility in resource management.
Miitigoog Limited Partnership exemplifies a new approach in the forestry industry by centering Indigenous values, knowledge, and authority in decision-making, ensuring sustainable economic opportunities are created for local communities while also safeguarding ecological sustainability.
By 2010, Miitigoog LP secured the Sustainable Forest Licence for the Kenora Forest, marking a significant step in achieving economic reconciliation. This agreement empowers the Anishinaabe people to manage and benefit from their lands.
