📅 26 June 2014 📍 Canada

The Supreme Court of Canada granted a declaration of Aboriginal title over the area claimed by the Tsilhqot'in Nation before it. The judgment recognized territorial occupation beyond narrowly defined settlement sites. It challenged colonial assumptions that Indigenous land relationships could be reduced to isolated locations while surrounding territory remained freely available to the state.
