After the Supreme Court of British Columbia’s Cowichan Tribes v Canada (Attorney General) decision, questions surrounding Aboriginal title, private property, and land-use certainty have been up in the air, and tensions are rising. Thomas Isaac, partner at Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP and national expert in Aboriginal law, breaks down the legal impact of this and similar cases, explores the balance between Aboriginal title and indefeasible title rights, and why reconciliation efforts must prioritize economic sovereignty.
