The federal government has signed an MOU with Onion Lake Cree Nation about improved delivery of health services. The Cree Nation signed on in 1876, with one of the clauses being that a medicine chest would be kept at the house of the Indian Agent for use by the Indians. Minister of Indigenous Services, Jane Philpott and Chief Wallace Fox signed the MOU to work together to develop a new type of funding arrangement that would increase the Cree Nation’s control of health services. Chief Fox says when the medicine chest clause was added to the Treaty, it was because they were thinking of future generations, and that is the same reasoning for this MOU.
