Backgrounder: The Pre-Confederation Treaties of Vancouver Island and Decision-making
Abstract
What are the practical implications of White & Bob and Morris for the exercise of
jurisdiction by the Treaty First Nations and the Province of BC? What role exists for
“Douglas Treaty” First Nation laws in regulating the use of lands and resources? Is
escalating conflict over land and resource decisions affecting “Douglas Treaty”
rights inevitable or do alternatives exist and, if so, what are they?
