Specific Claims Tribunal

The Specific Claims Tribunal is a legal body in Canada that resolves disputes between Indigenous communities and the government related to treaties, land claims, and other agreements. It provides a fair and specialized process for Indigenous groups to seek resolution without lengthy court battles. The Tribunal reviews claims about breaches of agreements or unmet commitments and makes legally binding decisions. Its goal is to ensure accountability and promote better relationships by addressing specific issues promptly and fairly, respecting the rights of Indigenous peoples and the terms of their treaties.
