Against this backdrop, Thomas Isaac poses the question: What does proven Aboriginal title mean for Aboriginal peoples, for the Crown and for third parties, including private property owners?
In answering this question, Isaac offers insightful guidance, analysis and commentary regarding:
- the meaning and content of Aboriginal title;
- the relationship between Aboriginal title and private property;
- the remedies available to Aboriginal peoples facing infringements to proven Aboriginal title;
- the balancing of interests that the Supreme Court of Canada has developed between Aboriginal rights and title on the one hand, and the rights of non-Aboriginal Canadians on the other hand; and
- a practical understanding of what Aboriginal title means, assuming it is proven.
The author's straightforward approach makes this monograph ideal for use by a wide range of readers such as lawyers and consultants, Aboriginal peoples and organizations, provincial, territorial, municipal and Aboriginal governments, industry and business, students, and teachers.
