Tsilhqot'in Land Rights

The Tsilhqot'in Land Rights refer to the recognition by Canadian courts that the Tsilhqot'in Nation has traditional rights to land in British Columbia based on their historical use and occupation. In 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada confirmed their Indigenous title to a specific area, meaning they have legal ownership and control over it. This ruling affirms their right to manage land resources, make decisions about development, and maintains their cultural connection to the land. It marks a significant step toward recognizing Indigenous sovereignty and balancing their rights with broader legal and economic interests.
