This is a hyperlink to the 2014 Supreme Court of Canada decision in <em>Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia.</em> <br /><br />In Tsilhqot’in Nation v. British Columbia, the Supreme Court of Canada established Aboriginal title for the Tsilhqot’in Nation. The case blended Aboriginal principles and traditions concerning land use with the common law notion of occupation. The court held that the Tsilhqot’in people had the right to control their land according to their own wishes and that the government could not arbitrarily expropriate the land for their own use. The landmark case continues to have implications for Indigenous nations and the provinces.
