From:

RE:
Sipeknekatik
Matrimonial
Real
Property
During
the
past
few
weeks
off-reserve
band
members
were
receiving
mail
in
ballots
to
vote
for
or
against
the
proposed
Sipeknekatik
Matrimonial
Real
Property
Law.
On
September
24,
2015
in
Indian
Brook
First
Nation
on
reserve
band
members
went
to
the
polls
to
vote
for
or
against
the
proposed
Sipeknekatik
Matrimonial
Real
Property
Law.
There
were
510
votes
to
support
the
Sipeknekatik
Matrimonial
Real
Property
Law,
with
24
Band
members
voting
not
to
support
the
proposed
law.
There
were
2
spoiled
ballots.
Based
on
these
results
I
am
pleased
to
share
the
Sipeknekatik
Matrimonial
Real
Property
has
been
accepted
and
will
be
implemented
effective
immediately.
What
this
means
is
when
Matrimonial
Real
Property
decisions
are
made
by
the
Justice
System,
our
law
will
be
applied
to
the
situation
instead
of
the
National
First
Nations
Matrimonial
Real
Property
law.
I
have
included
a
copy
of
the
Sipeknekatik
Matrimonial
Real
Property
law
for
your
records.
If
you
have
any
questions
regarding
this
I
am
always
available
to
you.
Sincerely,
Chief
Rufus
