A First Nation in Quebec has filed a title claim to lands in the western part of the province and is seeking billions of dollars in damages from governments and Crown corporations.

Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation Chief Jean-Guy Whiteduck said his people want to have a say in how water, wildlife, and forestry are managed in their traditional territory. Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg is located near Maniwaki, Que., on the shores of the Gatineau River.
