The BC Supreme Court’s recent ruling compels the province to begin negotiations with the Quwʼutsun nation over privately held lands in their territory. The ruling does not call for the return of private property, nor did the Quwʼutsun ask for it, but it does require a negotiated settlement, which might involve compensation for land lost to settler ownership.
