Government of Canada's landmark agreement recognizes Musqueam First Nation's Aboriginal title in Metro Vancouver
Control over fisheries, marine planning, and emergency response along parts of the South Coast of British Columbia will increasingly be shared with the Musqueam Indian Band under three new agreements signed with the Government of Canada last week.
More importantly, the deals also formally recognize Musqueam’s Aboriginal rights and establish a framework for joint governance in the First Nation’s traditional territory.
These agreements are being described by both sides as a practical step toward implementing Aboriginal rights under the Canadian Constitution, according to a news release.
Rather than a single sweeping deal, the package establishes a framework for gradual implementation.
It recognizes Musqueam’s rights within its territory and sets up formal processes for shared decision-making.
The full details and terms of the agreements are not immediately known, but this “Rights Recognition Agreement” is by far the most consequential, as it “recognizes that Musqueam has Aboriginal rights including title within their traditional territory and establishes a framework for incremental implementation of rights and nation-to-nation relations with Canada.”
In simpler terms, it means the federal government is formally acknowledging that Musqueam holds Aboriginal rights — including Aboriginal title on land — within its traditional territory and is committing to work out, step by step, how those rights will be put into practice. The agreement creates a structured framework for gradually implementing Musqueam’s authority in decision-making over much of the Lower Mainland’s lands and waters.

More bullshit if you ask me. I am so so so sick of this shit.
Of course they never tell us all the details.
I thought other injun bands have claims over some of this territory? Like south Richmond?
Comrade Eby is sure hell bent on giving say and our land to the injuns.
They are setting things up or actually creating another level of government (feds, prov, city, metro van and even translink are the other ones that all tax) So I wonder how long before an injun tax? In addition to the already over generous gibs they receive?
Seems to be setting it up or opening the door for these free loaders to steal private property. They claim they are not coming for private property lol Eventually they will, I believe that is the endgame and remember any issues with injuns that cause conflicts the courts almost always side with the injuns. These deals set things up for that, especially with shared decision making.
Since large chunks of Metro Vancouver will be Injun territory does that mean sacred smokes will be sold for cheap? What about firewater?
So if they get to control fisheries I guess that is it for the Whiteman? Unless you pay extortion?
But going to a few places in the city is already looks like a rez anyway...
