A precedent-setting ruling involving Aboriginal title at the B.C. Supreme Court has caused widespread uncertainty and tension in the province. In August, Justice Barbara Young decided that Cowichan First Nation had title to roughly 800 acres in the city of Richmond — including private property. The ruling has raised questions over both residential and commercial property rights, as well as governance of the region.

Today, B.C. politics reporter Justine Hunter joins the show. She’ll explain the case, the divisive response, and the impact it could have on Indigenous land claims across the province... and the country.
