Former Squamish Nation leader explains what the Cowichan decision really means and what it doesn’t

Some residents continue to ask what’s in store for their community following a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that the Cowichan Tribes hold Aboriginal title over 300 and 324 hectares (or 750 and 800 acres) of land in Richmond. Stephen Quinn spoke with Khelsilem, a former elected leader of the Squamish Nation, to shed light on what the court decision means and doesn't mean. Correction: A previous version of this video incorrectly stated that the B.C. Supreme Court decision covers 7.5 square kilometres of land in Richmond, B.C. In fact, the ruling applies to a portion of that area, meaning Quw’utsun Nation has Aboriginal title to between 300 and 324 hectares (or 750 and 800 acres) of land. Also, a portion of this video was blurred after publication to protect private information that was not intended to air.
