Cowichan lawyer says treaty could recognize both Aboriginal and private title on land

Cowichan Tribes seek treaty to resolve land title conflicts after a B.C. Supreme Court ruling found private titles unjustly infringe on Aboriginal rights.

  • David Rosenberg, a lawyer representing the Cowichan Tribes, says a treaty could recognize both Aboriginal and private land titles in the area along the Fraser River.
  • A recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling found the Cowichan Tribes have Aboriginal title over a portion of land on the Fraser River, and said the granting of private titles by the government unjustifiably infringed on their title.
  • Rosenberg says the Cowichan Tribes are not targeting privately held land, and instead want the province to negotiate in good faith to reconcile Crown-granted private ownership with Aboriginal title.
