RE:MAGNFICENT 7 I've always been a bit leery regarding the First Nations' land rights. Using the US as an example, the European settlers had to homestead a parcel of land in order to claim it. The First Nations/Native Americans (or whatever verbiage you choose to use) generally traversed tribal grounds, but did not homestead the land. Does traversing ground (even if you are the first to traverse it historically) give one the right to claim the land? The more land you traverse, the more you can "claim" of course.
I once interviewed a tribal leader in the MIdwest US as part of a course in my undergrad studies and he discussed the history of their tribal land. He told me that they had to buy their land in order to protect it since that is the way the world effectively operates. Their tribe did not rely nor depend upon empty government promises to protect the land via reservation trusts.
Methinks Canada has been way too liberal with land rights for certain groups and this has caused problems with many junior resource companies.
