Tsilhqot'in Nation v British Columbia

Tsilhqot'in Nation v. British Columbia was a landmark 2014 Supreme Court case recognizing the Tsilhqot'in Nation's rights to manage and use land they have historically occupied and stewarded in British Columbia. The Court affirmed that these rights are Aboriginal rights protected under Canadian law and that modern governments must respect them, especially concerning land use and resource development. This case set a precedent for recognizing Indigenous land rights in Canada, emphasizing the importance of consultation and negotiated agreements to ensure that Indigenous communities' land interests are protected and upheld.
