On Aug. 7, a five-year-long legal battle between the Cowichan Tribes and the Attorney General, the City of Richmond, Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and other First Nations groups ended in a monumental decision handed down from the B.C. Supreme Court.  For the first time in Canadian history, a First Nations group was granted Aboriginal title over a section of land currently owned in fee simple by other entities. Justice Barbara Young ruled that land title grants issued by the Canadian and B.C. governments to others on the land in question “are defective and invalid” since they “unjustifiably infringe the Cowichan…
