Wolastoqey Aboriginal Title in New Brunswick

Wolastoqey Aboriginal Title in New Brunswick Chief Bernard & Renée Pelletier Explain Wolastoqey Aboriginal Title Warrior Life Podcast In episode #184, we hear from Madawaska Maliseet First Nation Chief Trish Bernard about the current Wolastoqey Nation Aboriginal Title claim. She is joined by the Wolastoqey Nation's legal counsel, Renée Pelletier of OKT Law, to help explain the claim and dispel misinformation circulating in the media and online. They help us understand the differences among Aboriginal rights, treaty rights, and Aboriginal title (land rights), and what a successful title claim means for New Brunswickers. Hint: No one gets kicked out of their homes.
