The Tsilhqot'in Decision

The Tsilhqot'in Decision, made by Canada's Supreme Court in 2014, recognized the Tsilhqot'in Nation's Aboriginal land rights in British Columbia. It confirmed they have a legal title to a specific area of their traditional territory, giving them control over how the land is used and managed. This ruling was significant because it affirmed Indigenous peoples' rights to land ownership and self-determination, setting a precedent for recognizing Aboriginal titles across Canada. It also emphasized the importance of government negotiations with Indigenous communities regarding land use and resource projects.
