Aboriginal title in British Columbia :

“The legal case Delgamuukw v. The Queen represents a significant moment in the history of British Columbia. The case is about aboriginal title in the province, specifically the claim of the Gitksan and Wet’suwet’en people to ownership and jurisdiction over their traditional territories. But it is about much more. The judgement, the case which led to it, and, now, the appeal of the judgement, compel British Columbia’s to come face-to-face with their history, their origins, and their most fundamental social and cultural values. Aboriginal Title in British Columbia, a collection of essays on the Delgamuukw judgement, examines the legal, historical, political, human, and international dimensions of this historic case.” – Provided by Publisher
