  The answer is in the first few paragraphs of the article. Essentially, the FN groups involved want the courts to determine who is legally responsible for breaking the treaties.
context: I know reading the article isn’t cool around these parts but Ontario is stating that the First Nations should be going after the Canadian federal government, not them. 
  If you’re in the states, this would be like Texas telling someone that’s suing the state to sue the country instead. >
  
  Agree! Treaties were negotiated with the federal government/ crown. The royal proclamation of 1763 states that this must be the case quite clearly.  It’s also in the nature of the meaning of “treaty;” treaties are nation to nation contracts.  I’m not sure why they are trying to sue Ontario… anyone?
