Do Aboriginal people need an Outdoors Card?
Members of Ontario Aboriginal communities, having established
aboriginal and treaty rights, do not require an Outdoors
Card or Ontario fishing licence tag to take fish for personal use
within their traditional or treaty territory. Personal use is
defined as for food, social or ceremonial purposes.
Individuals should be prepared to provide identification when
showing their community membership. Members of Aboriginal
communities fishing outside of their traditional or treaty areas
must have a valid Ontario Outdoors Card and fishing licence tag.
This quote is taken right from the ministry guide.The sticky point is the treaty territory.Danc is correct.
