THE TSILHQOT’IN NATION COURT CASE: A ‘GAME CHANGER’ FOR FIRST NATIONS Last month the Supreme Court of Canada issued a ground-breaking declaration of Aboriginal title in Tsilhqot’in v. British Columbia. This is the first time that a court has granted Aboriginal title to a specific land area in Canada. This article will look at who are the Tsilhqot’in, what did the Court decide, and highlight possible impacts on the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw Nations.

WHO IS THE TSILHQOT’IN FIRST NATION? The Tsilhqot’in Nation is made up of 6 First Nations in central BC. In 1983 the Province allowed a logging company to cut in Nemaiah Valley. The Xeni Gwet’in (also called the Nemaiah Valley Indian Band) blockaded and then went to court to protect their land. The case turned into a claim of Aboriginal rights and title by the Tsilhqot’in Nation for a part of the Tsilhqot’in Territory centered in the Xeni Gwet’in area.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE AND HOW MUCH DID IT COST? The case took over 25 years to get to the Supreme Court of Canada. We don’t know the exact costs but they have been estimated at $30-$50 million for the Tsilhqot’in Nations and probably as much or more for each government. The Tsilhqot’in got court orders for the Crown to pay most of the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s legal costs due to the novelty and importance of the case. It may be difficult for First Nations to get similar court orders in the future. For comparison, recent treaties cost $10-$25 million in loan funding.

WHAT THE TSILHQOT’IN CLAIMED The Tsilhqot’in claimed: 

 

Aboriginal title to approximately 1.1 million hectares of land, excluding private land, submerged land and Indian Reserves. This was not a claim for 100% of Tsilhqot’in Territory: it was only for about 5% of the entire Territory.

Aboriginal rights to hunt and trap including a commercial right to sell and trade furs to gain a moderate livelihood and a right to capture and use wild horses.

Protection against provincial laws.

 WHAT THE COURTS RULED The Tsilhqot’in Nation has:   

PAGE 3

Aboriginal title to approximately 440,000 hectares of land, excluding submerged land, private lands and Indian Reserves (this is approximately 40% of the 5% of the Territory claimed).

Aboriginal rights to hunt and trap including a commercial right to sell and trade furs to gain a moderate livelihood and a right to capture and use wild horses.

Aboriginal title lands are federal lands, but they do not have automatic protection against provincial laws. Provincial laws may apply if there is a compelling and substantive public GWA’SALA-’NAKWAXDA’XW NATIONS YO! NEWS

07/25/2014

objective and if the Province meets it fiduciary duties which may require consent or at least significant compensation or accommodation to the First Nation.

The court declared that economic development can still proceed on land where aboriginal title is established as long as there is consent of the First Nation or, failing that, the Government makes a case that development is pressing and substantial and meets its fiduciary duty to the Aboriginal group. This is a big deal, since it is the first time that the court has agreed that a First Nation must consent (agree to) a project on their land, rather than just being consulted about it.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR TREATY NEGOTIATIONS? The Tsilhqot’in case has been described as a “game changer” and “one of the most important cases in Canadian history”. Here are some thoughts as to what may likely happen after the ‘dust settles’.

1. RIGHT NOW: Increased Consultation The court case places a greater burden on governments to justify economic development on aboriginal land. This means that Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw Nations will have a greater voice in economic development (logging, mining, fishing, tourism, etc.) in our homelands.

2. SHORT-TERM: The use of temporary agreements will likely expand There have been an increasing number of Strategic Engagement Agreements, Forestry Consultation Agreements, Incremental Treaty Agreements, mining revenue sharing agreements, etc. These are temporary agreements to provide some details about consultation, land and resource use and revenue sharing in the short term, while we work on settling a treaty. These types of interim agreements will likely expand and increase.

3. LONG-TERM: Treaty negotiations will likely continue While the Tsilhqot’in case did establish what title means it did not settle a number of important matters.

For example, the case did not settle the amount of money owing for past actions. In addition, the case did not settle where provincial laws can apply to Aboriginal title lands, how taxation will work on these lands (since they are not reserve lands), how fisheries might work on these lands, and ownership or control over underwater lands and private lands.

For these areas the Tsilhqot’in may either need to go back to court or enter into some sort of negotiation process which may look quite similar to Treaty negotiations.

It is also important to note that, so far, the Tsilhqot’in is the only First Nation in Canada with a ruling of Aboriginal title. B.C and Canada may not recognize title for any other First Nation or may only agree to work within the BC Treaty process.

PAGE 4

GWA’SALA-’NAKWAXDA’XW NATIONS YO! NEWS

07/25/2014

CONCLUSION: Overall, the Supreme Court of Canada has been pretty clear that Aboriginal title does exist and it does include ownership to land and it has to be dealt with in a fair and honorable manner. It is predicted that the Tsilhqot’in case will help us get more land under the BC treaty process, just like the previous Delgamu’ukw court case.

If you have any questions about this case, it’s impact on Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw treaty negotiations, please give us a call at the Treaty Office, (250) 949-8424.

Yo Wiksas?

The Elders will be off to Kamloops for the Annual Kamloopa Pow wow Friday August 1st to Tuesday August 5th. We will leave the Elder's Center by 8am Friday morning and return Tuesday by 4pm.

Elders that are going, please be sure to attend Monday's Elder's Fun Day as we will finalize the agenda and plans then.

Thank you to those that came to lend a helping hand with the last few catering gigs. Mable, Sally, Harriet, Conrad A., John K. For those that were not able to make it or send someone on your behalf, please come and see me in my office as soon as possible.

As many of you may already know, the Elders formed an Elder's Council. They were nominated & voted on last summer by the Elders themselves. This group of Elders meet every Friday to discuss issues, concerns, upcoming events & work that has been done. They also make some bigger decisions that I normally had to make in the past. If they do not know what to decide, it then gets brought to a Elder's Meeting where all elders are in attendance. Having the Elder's Council makes a lot of the decision making a lot easier with a strong group mentoring me on what to do. They now share the responsibility in all decision making. Taking a huge weight off my shoulders :) Our Elder's Program has been quite active and we think it is very successful. We have Elder's Fun Day every Monday, where Michelle & Chelsey help cook a healthy & nutritious lunch. Matt then comes in to do a health presentation for an hour. We then play nutritional Bingo and have prizes for the Elders to win. There are Door prizes as well.

This past year we have had a few cooking classes with Eki Me Xi. We hope to continue on with that in the next school year. We have had a few baking classes with Natasha Walkus. We didn't have anyone show up, however we did go on with baking and then handed what we made out to those that can't bake any longer.

As the Elder's Coordinator, it is my job to ensure the Program runs peachy keen. My duties include, booking meeting room for work based events, booking catering jobs, setting up fundraising activities, bookkeeping, financial management (revenues, expenses, etc.), & planning trips (homelands, Elder's Conference, &

Others). It is not required by my job to drive Elders to their Dr.'s appointments, but I do for those that can not walk onto the bus or can not drive, when I can. I also try and help as much as I can when we have an Elder of the community pass on.

I submit weekly/biweekly reports to my supervisor, Colleen Hemphill. I also submit reports to the Trust Committee when required to for funding purposes and record keeping.

I usually always have to work through lunches due to catering or Elder's lunches. Therefore so I don't go over in my hours for the day, I come in at 9am. So if you ever tried to come and see me before then or call me and I am not here, that's why.

I would be more than happy to discuss any issues, concerns or friendly suggestions any time.

I will be away from August 6th to 15th. I will return back to work August 18th.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Hello!

You have probably been wondering who that stranger is around the Band office lately. My name is David Schmidt and I am the new contract Fisheries Manager for the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw Nations.

I started working around the beginning of June and have had a lot of information to go through to get up to speed and to get things moving. We have been working hard to get the fisheries programs running again, notably the Docee and Nekite programs. I am very lucky to have most of the fisheries crew from last year returning to help me get things going again. As part of my job, I will be evaluating the program, and working with Council and Economic Development, will hope to streamline things and maybe even find better programs to work with.

I have over 15 years of experience in Aboriginal fisheries and so I hope my experience will benefit the Nations. I am familiar with the traditional territory having worked with the Nation’s 15 or so years ago and I am excited to be back.

Of note, we are expecting a large run of sockeye this year. Between myself and the Fisheries Committee, we are working to ensure that we get our fair share of fish this year. The fishery is opening very soon so we can expect that fish will start to come in very soon. While fish are very unpredictable, we hope to have fish coming in within the next 1-3 weeks. As we know more, we will post notices so that members are well informed.

That’s about it for now. Thank you for having me in your community and for the nice comments from those I have already met. I hope to meet more of you soon and look forward to moving ahead!

Dave Schmidt

About Process Servers: Process servers are hired to bring court documents to individuals involved in certain kinds of legal proceedings.

By serving them with the documentation in accordance with court rules, it ensures that the other party has adequate time to prepare for the proceedings, and/or time to seek legal advice if it is required.
