Abstract:
Delgamuukw v. B.C. is a pivotal decision in the evolution of Canadian law on Aboriginal rights.Numerous meetings, round-tables, workshops and conferences have been held to discuss its potential impact on litigation and negotiation.1 Delgamuukw has also served as a vehicle for discussion of more fundamental issues such as the appropriateness of selecting the judicial forum to resolve Aboriginal title claims and the role of legal reasoning in furthering the process of colonization.2 Given the influence of British colonial law on the development of Aboriginal rights jurisprudence in former British colonies and the restrictions placed by evidentiary presumptions originating in English courts, Delgamuukw may also have persuasive precedential value outside of Canada. In particular, the Supreme Court's elaboration of the concept of Aboriginal rights and its discussion of the weight to be given to oral histories may influence other commonwealth courts which face the demanding task of accommodating the rights of colonized peoples within a contemporary political and legal rights regime.3

Abstract:
This essay analyzes the enduring impact of the case Delgamuukw v. British Columbia (1997), in which the Supreme Court of Canada overturned the original ruling by the Supreme Court of British Columbia in 1997 upon appeal by members of the Gitskan and Wet’suwet’en peoples representing the Delgamuukw side. The case set strengthened precedent in Canada’s legal system for the use of indigenous oral history as acceptable evidence in identifying first nations land claims based on their ancestral accounts. As has been shown in more recent indigenous land claims cases such as Tsilhqot’in v. British Columbia (2014), this precedent is finally allowing some first nations communities a legal tool recognized strongly enough within Canadian legal systems, historically entrenched in European common and civil law approaches of justifying evidence, to gain more just land claims settlements. While actions by some levels of Canadian government, such as the British Columbian Liberal government’s 2001 popular referendum on the merits of indigenous land claims, have shown bad faith for the prospects of nation to nation land claim settlement negotiation, the pressure exerted on all levels of Canadian government by decisions such as Delgamuukw and Tsilhqot’in show promise in forcing a shift to more just land claim settlements in future disputes.

Abstract:
RésuméC'est avec désolation qu'on constate l'ethnocentrisme continu des cours dans leur traitement des histoires orales autochtones comme artefacts culturels, en dépit des recommandations de tenir compte des perspectives des peuples autochtones et d'y adapter les règles de la preuve. Dans cet article, je décris comment le Juge en chef McEachern de la Cour suprême de la Colombie Britannique répondait à un témoin gitksan, Gwaans, lorsqu'elle présentait son adaawk comme preuve de l'organisation sociale Gitksan et de leur propriété sur les terres. La cour fut incapable d'entendre ni d'accepter l'adaawk tel que présenté—une institution juridique et politique plutôt qu'un simple artefact culturel ou le rapport d'une histoire chronologique. Les formes d'expression, le symbolisme et les liens entre les mondes des esprits, des humains et des animaux dépassaient la compréhension du juge. Est-ce que lors de litiges futures le adaawk sera traité différemment? L'article aborde un ensemble de questions inquiétantes, notamment le fait que le pouvoir judiciaire (1) adopte une approche réductionniste face au adaawk et (2) évalue l'adaawk selon les règles de la cour plutôt que celles propres au adaawk.

Abstract:
Vingt-quatre années après l'arrêt Calder, où elle a reconnu la présence d'un titre aborigène originaire, ou titre ancestral, la Cour suprême du Canada a enfin posé les fondements conceptuels de ce droit foncier dans sa décision Delgamuukw ; exclusivité et continuité d'occupation en sont deux caractéristiques importantes, des traits qu'il partage avec le titre des autochtones résidant aux États-Unis. L'affaire Delgamuukw renouvelait donc l'intérêt du droit comparé. Il semblait alors important d'exposer les principales règles du droit américain concernant la formation et l'extinction du titre aborigène originaire, car elles sont appelées à jouer un rôle dans le débat judiciaire qui s'engage au Canada. C'est le principal objectif que s'est donné ici l'auteur. Au cours de son exposé, celui-ci a toutefois invoqué les particularismes du droit canadien ou de l'histoire des relations anglo-indiennes pour écarter l'application de certaines règles américaines.

This article explores briefly the relation between aboriginal rights and sustainable development in Canada, using as a vehicle for discussion the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in Delgamuukw v. British Columbia.1 This case involved claims by the Houses of Gitksan and Wet'suwet'en, comprising some 6,000 to 7,000 persons, to aboriginal title over separate portions of approximately 58,000 square kilometres of land in the interior of British Columbia. The territory is a rich agricultural area with vast forests and abundant wildlife.

Abstract:
This article outlines how the Canadian courts dealt with the interface between aboriginal title and common law notions of property throughout the various Delgamuukw decisions. Through examination of the different judgments in the case, at different judicial levels, the article traverses issues around the source of aboriginal title, and subsequent limitations on the content of aboriginal title which arise from that. The article concludes that the unique concept of aboriginal title cannot be interpreted within the paradigm of the common law. The article further concludes that courts are the wrong forum for adjudicating aboriginal claims.

Abstract:
Abstract. There is an emerging consensus that group differentiated rights can protect collective identity, furnishing the state with important tools of accommodation. What happens, however, to the efficacy of these rights as tools of accommodation and their protective capacity if the identity they are meant to protect and accommodate is contested? In addressing this question, this paper explores the intersection of identity contestation and group differentiated rights in the Canadian context with specific reference to aboriginality and existing aboriginal rights. First, the paper offers a presentation of the plurality of meanings shouldered by the term “aboriginality”. Second, it traces the numerous decisions which comprise the Dlegamuukw case and examines the various explanations, descriptions and characterizations of aboriginality contained therein. In the process, it exposes that a particular understanding of this collective identity underpins the Court's ultimate characterization of aboriginal title, the aboriginal right at issue in this case. This represents a problematic interpretation, given that the version of aboriginality selected differs from the one put forward by the aboriginal litigants.Résumé. Un consensus émergeant s'établit sur l'idée que les droits différenciés en fonction de l'appartenance à un groupe peuvent contribuer à la protection de l'identité collective, en fournissant à l'État d'importants outils d'accommodement. Qu'arrive-t-il, cependant, à l'efficacité de ces droits compris comme des outils d'accommodement, de même qu'à leur capacité de protection, si l'identité qu'ils sont censés protéger et accommoder est contestée? En répondant à cette question, cet article explore l'intersection entre la contestation identitaire et les droits différenciés en fonction du groupe dans le contexte canadien, avec, comme cas d'étude spécifique, l'autochtonie et les droits des autochtones. D'une part, il explore la pluralité de sens que revêt le terme “ autochtonie ”. D'autre part, il retrace les nombreuses décisions que comprend le cas Delgamuukw et examine les diverses explications, descriptions et caractérisations de l'autochtonie qu'elles contiennent. Dans ce cadre, il souligne qu'une compréhension particulière de cette identité collective sous-tend l'ultime caractérisation par la Cour suprême du titre autochtone, soit le droit des autochtones qui est au cœur de ce procès. Ceci constitue une interprétation problématique puisque la version de l'autochtonie sélectionnée diffère de celle que prônaient les litigants autochtones.

Abstract:
La décision rendue par la Cour suprême du Canada dans l'affaire Delgamuukw en décembre 1997 est particulièrement importante pour deux aspects des revendications autochtones : le titre aborigène et la preuve par tradition orale. Ces deux notions sont en relation puisque la seconde est souvent essentielle pour revendiquer le premier. Il existe toutefois deux différences fondamentales entre la tradition orale et les documents historiques qui ont un effet important sur le poids à accorder à cette preuve : la tradition orale est souvent conçue et exprimée dans une langue autochtone parlée par un très petit nombre de locuteurs et la connaissance de son contenu est toujours liée à une performance individuelle momentanée. L'objet du présent article est d'offrir certaines indications linguistiques sur l'interprétation de la tradition orale de façon à permettre aux autochtones comme aux juristes de mieux en évaluer la valeur probante.

Abstract:
The 1997 Supreme Court case Delgamuukw v. British Columbia was groundbreaking in its recognition of oral histories as evidence of Aboriginal title. Brought forth by the Wet’suwet’en and Gitxsan nations, the trial would decide the title to territory in northern British Columbia, a jurisdiction which notably had never signed any treaties with the Canadian government. The Supreme Court overturned an earlier judgement from lower B.C. courts that had claimed Aboriginal title did not exist in law, allowing an appeal and leading to a retrial. The Supreme Court’s ruling not only defined the scope of Aborginal title, but ensured it was a constitutionally protected right that cannot be extinguished by the provinces, although it could be “infringed upon.” Additionally, it set the precedent for all future cases that Indigenous oral history must be given the same weight as written colonial history.

Abstract:
This article provides an overview of some of the intriguing issues raised by Aboriginal title claims to water spaces and submerged lands. While the Supreme Court of Canada articulated a test for proof of Aboriginal title in the 1997 Delgamuukw decision, they did not squarely address questions relating to the viability of such claims outside of the “dry land” context. Recently, a number of Aboriginal groups from across Canada have filed claims seeking declarations of Aboriginal title in areas such as the foreshore, the sea, the seabed, and the Great Lakes and their connecting waterways. Similar claims might also surface in Quebec in the near future, in areas such as the St. Lawrence Seaway. The author guides the reader through international developments in this area, highlights some key legal and evidentiary issues which will require serious reflection in the near future, and provides some final thoughts with respect to the fundamental role which the goal of reconciliation and the principle of consultation will undoubtedly play in Aboriginal title cases to water spaces and submerged lands.

Abstract:
La liberté de religion peut-elle être assurée par un système juridique en dehors de l'idéologie individualiste et « universalisante » des droits fondamentaux ? L'auteur tente de répondre à cette question en prenant pour champ d'investigation le droit canadien relatif aux peuples autochtones. Dans la première partie de son étude, il souligne l'importance de la référence religieuse dans les revendications foncières des autochtones et explique comment le droit constitutionnel canadien, en reconnaissant les droits ancestraux et les droits issus de traités des peuples autochtones, consacre le principe de l’« autochtonité » comme fondement autonome de droits religieux afférents à la terre et aux ressources naturelles. De cette analyse, il ressort que les communautés autochtones pourront revendiquer des droits sur certains sites qu'elles tiennent pour sacrés ainsi que des droits d'usage religieux des terres et ressources naturelles du domaine public. Si la consécration constitutionnelle de droits religieux sui generis en marge de toute charte des droits individuels ne fait pas de doute, l'auteur met en évidence dans la seconde partie de l'article les diverses contraintes inhérentes à la conception traditionaliste que se fait la Cour suprême du Canada de l’« autochtonité » comme assise des droits ancestraux. Ces contraintes religieuses tiennent principalement à l'importance déterminante que la Cour accorde au réfèrent culturel précolonial dans la définition des droits ancestraux et à la représentation « sacralisante » de la terre qui imprègne le régime du titre aborigène esquissé dans l'affaire Delgamuukw c. Colombie-Britannique. L'auteur relève en outre les dangers que pourrait poser pour la liberté individuelle de religion le communautarisme foncier propre au titre aborigène. Il indique à cet égard les moyens juridiques susceptibles d'être déployés, au nom des droits fondamentaux, pour préserver les individus de l'enfermement religieux par le groupe. Enfin, l'auteur conclut que, dans l'état actuel de la jurisprudence, les droits religieux particuliers reconnus aux peuples autochtones ne s'accompagnent pas d'une véritable liberté de religion permettant aux autochtones contemporains de redéfinir librement leur rapport à la terre et aux ancêtres.

Abstract:
Customary land tenure is normally not based on codified or statutory sources, but stems from customary traditions and norms. When westernised courts have to interpret and adjudicate these customary traditions and norms, the normal rules of statutory interpretation cannot be followed. The court has to rely on evidence of the traditional values of land use to determine the rules connected to land tenure. Previously courts in many mixed jurisdictions relied on common or civil law legal principles to determine the nature of customary land tenure and lay down the principles to adjudicate customary land disputes among traditional communities, or between traditional and westernised communities in the same jurisdiction. Many examples of such westernised approach can be found in case law of Canada and South Africa. The interpretation of the nature of customary land tenure according to common law or civil law principles has been increasingly rejected by higher courts in South Africa and Canada, e.g. in Alexkor Ltd v The Richtersveld Community 2004 5 SA 469 (CC) and Delgamuukw v British Columbia 1997 3 SCR 1010. This paper explores the methodology the courts should follow to determine what the distinctive nature of customary land tenure is. As customary land tenure is not codified or based on legislation, the court has to rely, in addition to the evidence of indigenous peoples, on the expert evidence of anthropologists and sociologists in determining the nature of aboriginal title (in Canada) and indigenous land tenure (in South Africa). The court must approach the rules of evidence and interpret the evidence with a consciousness of the special nature of aboriginal claims and the evidentiary difficulties in proving a right which originates in times where there were no written records of the practices, customs and traditions engaged in. The court must not undervalue the evidence presented simply because that evidence does not conform precisely with the evidentiary standards that would be applied in, for example, a private law tort case.
