It is no secret that all of BC has some form of aboriginal claim of title and/or rights.  In fact, the land area of BC is oversubscribed with these asserted rights and title.  While it is the Provincial Government’s responsibility to resolve these claims, the number of actual treaties signed in the last two decades is surprisingly few.

This result has rendered the issue of land use difficult for First Nations who rely on the land for their sustenance.  It has also left developers with great uncertainty and thus increased risk for developing resources.
