📄 CLICK HERE — FOQA July 16, 2026 Communication Briefing Paper
This is a detailed PDF document providing a full roadmap of FOQA’s litigation history and its intersection with other cases impacting all affected members — we strongly encourage every member and applicant to read it.
Litigation Update: Barker/Brake Cross-Appeal of Benoit
We apologize for the delay in getting this communication out to you — there was much to unpack. After more than nine years of dedicated work, we wanted to connect the dots, provide perspective, present the facts, and offer some measured commentary.
The attached Communication Briefing Paper (PDF) has been carefully prepared to provide a roadmap of FOQA’s entire litigation history. It also explains how our proceedings intersect with, and are integral to, other ongoing cases — and how the outcome may impact all oppressed members of our community who have lost status, regardless of whether you are a 1st or 2nd Founding Member.
⚠ WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO READ THIS DETAILED DOCUMENT.
We are confident it will answer the vast majority of questions you may have.

Congratulations to Federation of Newfoundland Indians (FNI) — David Wells, President
Mr. David Wells was both elected and acclaimed during the most recent and tumultuous FNI Annual General Assembly held in May 2026. Mr. Wells has demonstrated himself to be a man of integrity, welcoming to all factions working to advance the rights of the oppressed. We are proud to have him lead this critically important organization on behalf of all FNI members — new and old.
We also wish to recognize the significant efforts of Mr. Byron Alexander, former Interim President of the FNI, for his service during a period of considerable challenge and complexity within the organization.
🕒 Coming Soon: FOQA will be releasing a dedicated secondary communication focused entirely on the FNI — its current leadership, board composition, and the position of each serving Director of the post-FNI. We believe it is essential that all impacted parties fully understand this key piece of the larger picture.
